REGIONAL BOWLS DAY at RIVERSIDE IBC

Riverside Indoor Bowling Club in Winchester, Hampshire

Annual Regional Day on Saturday 25th March 2017.

The event was organized by the Swan Bowlers who run weekly sessions for bowlers with a physical disability at Riverside. On what proved to be the sunniest day of the month, 26 bowlers and their supporters from Windsor Royals, Aylesbury Area Disabled Club, Five Rivers Indoor Bowling Club, English Amputees & Les Autres Bowls Association and Swan Bowlers played in the pair’s competition. Riverside is set in a beautiful park and just a 5 minute walk to the center of Winchester which makes it an easy base from which to explore the historic city.
