Brentwood bowlers have been out in force over the bank holiday weekend, lending their support to two start-of-season events.

There was a good turnout in fine weather on Saturday for the annual open day when visitors were invited to check out our facilities and try their hands at bowling.

On Monday, 24 members took part in a mixed drive with teams drawn at random and players keeping individual score cards for three games of six ends.

At the end of the afternoon, men’s captain Richard Rose announced that after a recount, club president Byron Davies was unbelievably the winner of the main cash prize. Derek Robinson and Trish Ould carried off the remaining two cash awards.
