After a very successful President’s Day for Paul Andrews at North Tawton Bowling Club the new season continues at a pace.

There has been much to celebrate at the club. In the men’s first place must go to the A team in the North Devon Triples who will be promoted to the first division —the first time that the club have achieved this. Meanwhile the B team seem safe in division four.

The shield sees both the A and B teams mid table.

In the over 60s the A team could be relegated from division four but the C team top this division and look certain for promotion.

The ladies are also looking good — doing well in the Top Club competition and lie mid table in both the North Devon Triples and the Shield Tables.

The club held a fundraising fun day for the the new club house organised by John Kinsey, Lloyd Reynolds and Dave Nicks.

All the local pubs were invited to take part in a well organised inter North Tawton play off and what a success it was! Despite inclement weather the atmosphere was superb.

Club chairman Mike Thwaites said: ‘It was a great day with our thanks to all who took part. They were all winners, however, the final outcome was the team from the White Hart Jimmy Simons, Stuart Bragg and Graham Crawley.

‘North Tawton owes a great debt and thank you to the people and Pubs who have helped us in our dream and raised £2,600 for the new club house.

‘A big thank you to the people of North Tawton.’
