In readiness for their new season, we got busy helping members at Danson Park Bowls Consortium to clear grass from their driveway.

The cobbled surface was laid on soil over ten years ago and the grass had done a pretty good job at growing through to reclaim it.

Working alongside a dozen or so others from Kingfisher and Bexley Bowls Clubs, we stripped back the turf. It was proper hard work but we were very well looked after with drinks, biscuits and hot cross buns.

Hopefully the rest of the members and visiting teams arriving for matches over the coming months will be bowled over by our efforts.
