Winter League
It is noticeable that attendances are increasing at all our Winter League matchdays as the season progresses. This week for example there were over 60 people at the Division 3 matches at Thorpe Green on Monday. Half of those would be bowlers but another 30 non-bowlers shows the interest that is being generated in winter bowling in addition to the taking part.
This latest set of 21 matchday photographs illustrates the number of people around the green enjoying the spectacle of bowlers in competition.

Good to see so many spectators enjoying a pleasant afternoon which can only add to the atmosphere of the games - certainly more spectators than when we play in the Huddersfield Vets or Brighouse Vets in the best of weather.
Perhaps the spectators , in addition to watching the bowling, enjoy a bit of a chat with other spectators - not a bad thing on a pleasant autumn afternoon.
