Fareham Bowls Tour - Torquay 2024
Another brilliant tour filled with lots of fun and laughter and a few games of bowls and crazy golf.
Our first game was at Kings, Torquay, not all that successful, with only one rink winning by one shot! Maybe our lack of success was due to the number of the England players playing there!
Other games were at Babbacombe, Totnes and Teignmouth. On the way back we played at Wimbourne.
Huge thanks to Pam and Tony
