ENGLISH BOWLING FEDERATION BOWLS WEEK
At the recent EBF mixed rink competition held at Potters, Hopton-On-Sea, the Club were represented by Anne and Peter White, John Vaudin and Nolan Catterwell. Around ninety ‘Fours’ took part including several ‘rinks’ from the Shetland Isles. Not only did Anne, Peter, John and Nolan contribute to the Northants retaining the team trophy but in the end were disappointed to go out in the semi-final. Requiring two shots to force an extra end, they lost out on the Umpire’s measure to lose the game 4 – 5. Our disappointment was made up by the fact that we had a great time socially, Potters really is an exceptional resort.
