Both greens at King George’s Playing Fields have been certified for competitive play for the 2017 season.

TESTING TIME: An official checks one of the rinks as volunteer Trevor Pedley delivers a wood.

Volunteers from Brentwood Bowling Club and Central Essex Bowling Club assisted testers when they carried out their official annual inspection on behalf of Essex County Bowling Association on Thursday 27th April.

Bowlers were asked to deliver woods forehand and backhand to check the playing quality of each of the 12 rinks, north-south and east-west.
