Sunday 9th July 2023: We arrived at the Falcon Bowls Club in Painswick in a fine drizzle, which quickly turned to heavy rain, whilst we were eating an excellent buffet prepared for us.
The Falcon BC was formed in 1554 and it is the oldest club in England still playing on the same site… some record!
The afternoon started with the usual formalities and then the game began. I think we were all surprised how well the green played after all the rain we had had. The whole game was played in sunshine thankfully, and the Friends were successful by 4 rinks to 1 rink.
