In the County Ladies Pairs, Pat Holt and Jane Boucher had an excellent run of wins to reach the Area Final, which was played on 30 May. The final against a pair of bowlers from Braintree Bowls Club, turned out to be a very close game with the final score being Arclight 14 Braintree 16.
Pat and Jane bowled very well throughout this competition and were so close to going through to the all Essex Final.
Well done

Our ladies team took part in the County Top Club competition against Holland-on-sea. It was a very close game with each club winning on 2 rinks. The final result for the match was decided on shots which put Holland-on-sea into the next round.
Well played, a great game.
Arclight held our Bowls England Big Bowls Day, which was played on our green alongside the ladies Top Club competition.
We had a steady flow of people wishing to try their hand at bowls.
We already have a number of people who have applied to join our club and it is quite likely that more will join over the next few weeks.
We would like to welcome everyone who has joined our club. We hope that you will enjoy playing bowls at Arclight.
