CASH FOR KEEP FIT PROJECT

Lyminge Bowls Club has just been awarded a £3,000 grant from Kent County Council to help the club replace the watering system which is on its last legs.

County Councillor Susan Carey presents the cheque

The Club is a hidden gem, tucked unobtrusively away near the village hall. 

The green is rated as “excellentâ€? and often hosts major events at both County and national level. 

The new watering system will not only keep the green in tip top condition but will be far more environmentally friendly by making better use of water. 

Bowls is one of the few keep fit activities for older folks and most of the Lyminge Bowls Club members are 50+ but the club also boasts four under 18s and is making active efforts to encourage more young people to take part as bowls is an excellent cross generational sport.
