Well done to Mark Banning, Sonia McDonald, Dennis Tuerena and Gary North, team Lexus/Toyota, who were winners of the competition and of course also sponsored us. We hope that Lexus/Toyota will sponsor us next year but if you are looking to buy a Lexus or Toyota car from Hills Woodford, please mention us. Not only will you get a decent deal but also it will help the Club get the sponsorship we need.

We hope you are having a fantastic summer despite the less than seasonal weather. For those of you who bowl outdoors, it’s been heavy going but hopefully you are progressing through the various competitions.

So the school has now finished their exam season and handed the keys back to us. This is the time of year when we take the opportunity to carry out essential high level maintenance works whilst the boards are down and we can access the equipment via a tower.
