RILLA Mill Short Mat Bowling Club held their annual club presentations at the village hall on New Year’s Day.

Hall committee member and leader of the Linkinhorne Tuesday Club, Zena Jones, presented Polly Hill of East Taphouse with a trophy as the winner of the Four Wood Singles and to Ian Piper of Henwood as the runner-up.

The club was formed soon after the new hall was opened in the summer of 2000 and at that time membership rose to between 20 and 30.

Unfortunately over the years it has declined due to ill health or house moves. Friends from the East Taphouse club have saved the day thankfully by becoming members of Rilla Mill and enjoy attending regularly.

All ages are welcome. If anyone is interested, contact club captain Geoff Maunder on 01579 362844. Weekly meetings are Mondays from 7pm to 9.30pm.
