The club held its second annual meeting last week and heard that the current playing area needs to be larger to create a competition standard lawn, an aim the committee will look to meet in the coming year.

Club chairwoman Sue Bailey led the meeting, held at Melton Indoor Bowls Club, and reported a very productive debut season, while outlining 2019 as a chance for members to improve their game, obtain handicaps and compete with other clubs.
