On Saturday 27th April 2024, I was delighted to be asked to take part in the outdoor opening drive at Chalkwell Bowling & Petanque Club.
I attended along with the Mayor and Mayoress and with Cllrs Folkard and Courtney. The club has been in operation for over 100 years and provides its members with both indoor and outdoor rinks.
I was also able to try my hand at Petanque on the club’s purpose made pitch.
It was great fun to visit the club and bowl the first ball of the outdoor season. There’s a lot of skill involved in the game of bowls and I really admire those who do it regularly and make it look so easy.
I can tell you now that it isn’t easy at all!
The Club also offers loads of social activities for members, there really is something for everyone.
It’s so important as we get older to remain physically active and challenge ourselves with sports like Bowls and Petanque and I wish the club every success this year.
