All things bright and beautiful …. is the theme for a new textile collage being created to celebrate this special anniversary. Just over half the 150 squares are now under construction or completed. But we need more!

These are just a few of the completed squares awaiting sponsors.

Frodsham Red Lion Bowls Club Development Sessions
Our club will soon be holding Saturday morning bowling sessions for all ages, it is a great family activity, it’s outdoors in a safe environment and we have our own safeguarding officer who has been DBS checked.
The sessions are about simply coming along and learning the basics which over time will develop, for those who want, into a competitive sport. We need more recruits for our Cheshire Junior squad for example and there are lots of league teams in the area to join.
We have lots of coloured bowls of various sizes to be used by all and other equipment to make it a fun session. You will learn how to play the game, measure, mark a scorecard and tactics.
