Chard Bowling Club

From the Chard & Ilminster News, first published Monday 12th Feb 2007.

THE wind of change blew through Chard Bowling Club on February 10, the occasion being the annual meeting.

Over half the membership attended which was good considering the inclement weather.

David Stow was elected chairman, and in his opening address he thanked the retiring officers and committee. He said he was looking forward to working with the new committee and that his greatest challenge was to reverse the decline in membership. He called on members to spread the gospel of advantages of belonging to the club.

There would not be any increase in fees this year, but the membership was encouraged to take part in competitions and leagues, and to support fundraising activities.

Vic Barnard was elected president. New members are always welcome, be it novice or experienced. Coaching is also available.
