South Lancashire’s bowling Soroptimists met for their annual pre-season meeting. This is a chance to make arrangements for the forthcoming matches, and fine-tune any local rules.
Six Soroptimist clubs have entered teams in the regional competition: Bootle, Crosby, Leigh and District, St Helens, Southport and Widnes. Matches will take place up to the end of August; the final will be in September.
Dot Massey (SI Widnes) – who coordinates the regional competition – said, “Our pre-season gathering is always an enjoyable social occasion. We had an excellent supper, and I must thank Eileen Gilbert of SI Liverpool for the catering.
“The region’s bowlers get to know members of many other clubs. The competition is keen, but we play in a spirit of friendship; and I know we are all looking forward to the new season. I just hope the weather on finals day will be drier than last year!”
