It’s a real cakewalk as Middleton reconvene

Middleton Sports Club bowls section opened their bowling green for the season with a sixrink competition.

A total of 48 players, a few reserves and a significant numbers of spectators had a fun afternoon in the sun.

The club started the day with a spider competition which raised £52 for VIBE (Visually Impaired Bowls England). Club president and men’s captain Peter Lush was celebrating his 80th birthday and provided free tea and cake for all.

The club gave Peter a birthday cake but because of the fire risk they did not attach all 80 candles!

Right: Middleton bowlers at their opening drive – our man on the spot tells us the cheers and waving arms came when they learned free tea and cake were in the offing
