The Disability Bowls England game was a great success today and everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon. The atmosphere was very upbeat and jolly, and although there was a range of quite severe disabilities amongst the DBE players it certainly didn’t deter their determination. It was heartwarming to watch. The fact we lost didn’t matter as the Devizes team took it all in good part and the camaraderie became the most important aspect of the day. Thank you to all the Devizes members who played and made it the success it proved to be.
A very BIG thank you to the catering team – Jane Thompson, Sue Coombes-Daniels, Vron Hams, Babs Galloway and Helen Abbots-Darbyshire for providing a first class tea, and also Sheila Turner and Terry Miles for manning the Bar. Thank you also to the members who made such delicious cakes and thank you to our President, David Greenwood, who came along to meet and greet the players.
Devizes Bowls Club was showcased at its best, you should all feel very proud.
