Captains Charity Wiltshire Sight

James Thompson aged 5, thought it would be fun to have a lemonade stand and sell his lemonade (like he had seen on a kids’ TV programme).

James and his Dad made their own lemonade a few weeks earlier, and James really enjoyed the process.

Between Mum, Dad, and James, they came up with the idea of using the idea to raise money for the Devizes Bowls Club Captains Charity (Wiltshire Sight) .

The Mixed Pairs Competition Event was the perfect opportunity to do this. James and his mum spent Saturday afternoon making lemonade to sell on Sunday.

With the sun shining, they raised £21 that has gone to Wiltshire Sight.

Well done James !

Champion of Champions

Both Pam & Kelvin (Nash) played their first matches this week, representing Devizes Bowls Club in the County/National champion of champions knockout competition… Pam played Ros Corke (Wilton) and Kelvin played Paul Leverington (Holt) and both were successful, moving on to the next round.

Robin Hendry Cup

Congratulations to all who took part in the Robin Hendry Cup vs Pewsey, and thank you to those last minute reserves that filled vacant places! I’m very pleased to report that after many years of famine, Devizes Bowls Club has regained the magnificent Robin Hendry Cup!!

It was a fantastic match, in perfect conditions, which was played in the true spirit of the game of bowls.
