AN OPEN day at the Rubery Sheldon John Connelly (RSJC) crown green bowling club  has been hailed a great success after 17 people turned up to have a go and find out more about the game, including one who was four years old.

Jerome Turner, one of the RSJC committee members, said: “Given the fact we had 32 members before, we have increased our membership by more than a quarter and given there are eight people in a bowls team, we have effectively got more than a whole new team.”

He added there was a steady stream of people all day and it was also the first time in a while some of the existing members had come down to play.

“It was a great day all round,” added Jerome.
