The second in our series of our six Tuesday night community bowls was held on October 30, and will continue on through until November 27.

Week two was again well attended, but there's still some room for more, so think about coming on down for a couple of hours of fun on the green, a tasty burger or two, good raffle prizes; and nightly winners are drawn out-of-the-hat.
