Mixed pairs: This one is very important so don’t miss out. Nominate now: as it closes at the end of next week. What a pity it would be if this comp had to be scrapped due to lack of numbers and interest. The mixed committee work very hard to put bowls on for us so please support them. Individual nominations can also be taken if you don’t have a player yet.
