JUNIOR Bowls is an initiative from the Welsh Bowls Coaching Association to bring taster sessions to Year 6 pupils.
Presteigne Bowls Club (PBC), Mid-Wales Bowling League champions for 2015-16, has been delivering these sessions for the past seven years to children from Presteigne County Primary school.
Thanks to a recent grant from Sport Wales, the club has been able to purchase junior bowls, equipment and training for coaches and Thomas Taylor Bowls have very generously provided the bowls and equipment at a substantial discount to aid the scheme.
Seen here are children from Presteigne Primary Schools with their bowls, together with teachers and club coaches, having spent an enjoyable and lovely sunny afternoon at the PBC green.
PBC President Brian Shirt said that the club had used the biggest chunk of the generous grant monies from Sport Wales to purchase the bowls and equipment from Taylor Bowls, and expressed his thanks and appreciation to all involved.
