GRANT AWARDED - Warton & District Bowling Club
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Warton & District Bowling Club for a 26” push lawn sweeper and a cordless strimmer.
The club provides facilities and equipment for the people of Warton and the local district to play crown green bowling, either as full members competing in leagues or as social members playing informally while enjoying the exercise, a brew, and the company.
The club provides facilities and equipment for the people of Warton and the local district to play crown green bowling, either as full members competing in leagues or as social members playing informally while enjoying the exercise, a brew, and the company.
It has over 50 members and operates nine teams that compete in open, ladies-only, and senior leagues. Additionally, the club hosts several competitions each year, with a total of over 250 people participating. Various items of equipment are essential for the maintenance and upkeep of the bowling green. As their chairman has apparently stated often when expenses arise, "If there’s no green, there’s no club." Fortunately, the green is maintained and kept in good condition by a group of volunteer members who generously offer their time without charge. They approached us as they were in urgent need of a large-capacity 26” push lawn sweeper for collecting grass and debris after scarifying and treatment, as well as an edge strimmer for trimming grass around the perimeter and boundary of the green. We were happy to help.
