Bowling Season Starts at Spital Bowls Club

Gareth Coates,  the Mayor of Tamworth, looking splendid in his chains of office,  came to take the first bowl of the season and get our first afternoon of bowling off to a fine start. The Mayor showed a great aptitude for the game, benefiting from guidance from Gents Captain Ray Vanstone and playing alongside a crowd of us regulars until teatime, when we all enjoyed a marvellous selection of homemade cakes and a very welcome cuppa.
