A message of thanks from Alrewas RBL bowls club
Due to the poor state of our green we decided in July to try and stop playing games at home in order to devote time to improving its condition
and give ourselves the best chance of having a decent green for next season.
All the clubs we approached were very helpful and cooperative in changing the venue and sometimes the date of our home games.
This was very much appriciated and we would like to extend a word of thanks to all clubs who helped.
There's room for improvement but the green is in much better conditiion than it was.
Thanks
Andy Cannon (Secretary)
