    Bilton Dragon Bowling Club is due to open a new clubhouse next Sunday.


    The crown green bowls club was founded in 1909 and has members aged 14 to 93. The club plays on a green behind the Co-op on Skipton Road.

    Its first clubhouse was a wooden pavilion erected in 1910 at a cost of £17 and 10 shillings.

    The new one has been funded by a £20,000 grant from Sport England and fundraising by members.

    The club had hoped to open it last year but it was delayed due to covid.

    Players at the club.

    The club is also looking for new members. If you're interested in playing or have any questions, email the club's chairman Trevor Whincup here or call John Archer on 07715030832.

    Mr Whincup said:

    "Bowls is perceived to be an older person's sport, but we have members of all ages. It's good exercise and it's a good game."
