Sheryll Murray MP was delighted to join members of Callington Bowling Club at the Opening Day Ceremony for the start of the outdoor season on Saturday. Sheryll bowled the first wood of the season whilst numerous members of the bowling club looked on.
After bowling the first wood, Sheryll joined members of the Club in some games of bowls. Sheryll said said, "I was so pleased to be able to join members of the Club and learn about how enjoyable the game of bowls is. This is a truly fantastic sport which spans across the age spectrum. I learned how the Club Membership includes people of all ages and there is a real community feeling. I would like to thank the Club for their kind invitation and also pay tribute to the members of my team who were very patient when my bowls were so far off target. I used to watch people playing the game of Bowls when I used to take my daughter for a walk in the local Park and it was truly wonderful to have the opportunity to try the game myself."
Callington Bowling Club was founded in 1948 and boasts one of Cornwall’s finest bowling greens with a large club house, Bar and good amenities.
The green is well used throughout the season with mens’ and ladies' competitive league games, friendly games and club competitions.
