The club held our Presidents day on Friday 26th August 2022. President Lady Susan McKibben presided over a large turnout of members present. Everyone enjoyed an afternoon of bowling followed by an excellent meal provided by the ladies from the social committee.

Thanks to Ron McBride for providing his usual collage of photos from the afternoon.

Hi everyone,

Many congratulations to Louis, Colin, Philip and Denis, who won the NIIPGL Junior 4s final this afternoon at Ulster Transport.

They have asked me to pass on their thanks to all who turned out to support them. It was a nail-biting last end with the team winning by one shot.

Regards 

Nan
