Burton & Puddington Bowls Club

Trip To Arnside

We had a lovely few days in Arnside. The weather was great and we packed in bowling, walks, and trips to surrounding towns.

Thursday morning we had the chance to play social bowls at Arnside Bowling Club, just down the road from the guesthouse. Their green is much the same size as ours and in a lovely setting. Thanks to Geoff for organising the games. 

On Friday, we returned to Arnside BC for a Friendly. Again, we were made very welcome and the two Clubs are making plans for Arnside to visit us next year.

Thanks to Geoff B and Keith for providing quizzes each evening. And many thanks to Liz for organising the trip again this year.
