As a rule we Scarlets don\u2019t meet during August but arrange an outdoor activity. In previous years we\u2019ve done a picnic in Hesketh Park, built sandcastles on the beach and arranged a treasure hunt around the Marine Lake area with a supper after.   This year we went down to the Southport Bowling Club and two of their very friendly club members talked us through the rules, arranged us into teams and were very supportive and coached us the whole time.  We rounded the evening off with a cuppa and biscuits in the club house.  Ted talked about the history of the club. We didn\u2019t  know it is the only Flat Green Bowling Club in the Southport and Liverpool area and actually dates back to 1937.  If you fancy a new hobby bowls is great for all ages, it\u2019s a healthy outdoor sport and very sociable.  They encourage you to try before you buy &#8211; equipment is available to borrow until you are sure the game is for you.    Most of all they are a very friendly bunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0ED9F633-F7E6-40CA-B3A1-7F7190BA731D-624x624.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>And we even had sunshine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-0 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must apologise for my tardiness with this month\u2019s blog.
