Sidmouth Bowls Club indoor season is now truly under way, with the first rounds of internal competitions being played and external matches, friendlies, Inter-club and league competitions keeping everyone busy, writes Susie Bonnell.

In fact the fixture list has been so packed, Sidmouth have not been able to offer an ‘Open’ day this autumn - but there will be one in April next year - so watch this space for the date and time.

Despite this, if you have fancied trying your hand at bowls, there are still plenty of opportunities. Mike Reader and his fellow coaches can offer you a free taster session (you don’t even need your own bowls, we can lend you some) - so, go on, give it a go!

Contact David Butler, the membership secretary, on 01395 512697, who will put you in touch with one of the coaches for some free taster sessions.
