NORWEST Bowls Club have held their annual presentation evening . . . and what a season it’s been for Norwest. We’ve welcomed several new and very promising bowlers and some not so new seasoned bowlers but still very welcome.

Our ladies who in the past have usually been the strong team, at or near the bottom of the league tables holding all the rest up but are now becoming a force to be reckoned with and we finished mid way. A great improvement.

Our men have missed Aaron, the A team captain, this year but hopefully he’ll be back with us for the 2025 season. They remain about midway in their respective leagues.
