Crown Green Bowling

I would just like to tell you that three Warwickshire bowling teams will be at our club this Sunday in a best team play off, should be a good day for us at the club that's if the weather holds as most will be new faces, but you always see someone you know

Thanks dougie - hope you had a good day! Recently watched the final of The Waterloo on TV, between two Warwickshire bowlers Having played the flat-green version for many years, indoor and out, I've met plenty of local "crownies", who particularly excel indoors, and also some from "up north" when I played in Blackpool events David Holt, of course, was a superstar at both codes Richard Brittan was a stalwart of the Warwickshire county team outdoors for many years, and was successful in National competitions I was lucky enough to play indoors with Nick Skidmore, a National indoor champion who now plays outdoors for Middlesex Coventry and North Warwickshire have always been strong crown green areas

MR. Believe it or not I was the only one at the bowling greens at 9.00 am to greet them and welcome them to the club, only because I was putting some old photo's up of previous handicaps run and held at the club from 1986. The runner-up at the Waterloo was there in one of the Warwickshire teams that played in the final and won against The Potteries. I made three trips to the club during the day, the last being at 8.00 pm for the final, so it was a long day for them as after they won they came in the club to celebrate and didn't want to go home.
