Stoneyford Active Retirement Group:

There was a great turnout for Bowls last week. The Stoneyford Bowlers welcomed visitors from the Mullinavat club. The Mullinavat players generously shared their experience and skill with the Stoneyford group and great fun was had by all. If you would like to try Short Mat Bowling come to the Community Centre any Wednesday morning at 10.30a.m.  This is different to 10 Pin Bowling, and the bowls are a lot lighter and smaller. We are learning and if you would like to learn with us, you are more than welcome to come alone.
