As I write we are over half way through our outdoor season and this year so far we have enjoyed several golden warm summer evenings with friends and temporary foe on greens from Shotesham in the south of the county to Sheringham in the north.

Our league results are satisfactory but most of us are suffering from a surfeit of matches as we have too few players to satisfy the demands of league play in three leagues. We desperately need new players and we will be addressing this problem in the close season.

We are also thinking now of close season fund raising to assist with the ever present and increasingly costly business of keeping our bowling green in good order. We have booked the Village Hall for a series of Bingo Evenings on the first Saturday in each month at 7.30pm from November 2003 through to March 2004 inclusive. Put these dates In your diary now.

Other events will be arranged and these will be announced in later issues of the Marlpit.
