The Lions Club of Plymouth, ably assisted by Plympton Bowling Club and friends, were invited to help with scoring duties at the recent Special Olympics Regional Bowls Competition at the Indoor Bowls Club at the Life Centre Plymouth.
The teams played a four bowl pairs match, from four different leagues, in five rinks, over periods of one and a half hours each.
The event was very well organised by Alan Stockdale, chair of Special Olympics Team Plymouth and his team of assistants, volunteers and officials with a good time being had by all. Alan emphasises that the event was very much a team effort.
Lunch and teas were served by Alan’s volunteers, which was thoroughly enjoyed by competitors, volunteers and supporters.
Bronze, silver and gold medals were awarded to the winning teams from each league by the immediate past President of the Plymouth Lions Club, Lion Ian Hill.
The President and members of Lions Club of Plymouth and the Plympton Bowling Club wish the Special Olympics Team of Plymouth every success in securing places in the forthcoming Special Olympics World Summer Games 2019 to be held in Abu Dubai.
