On Saturday 6 September we had a visit from the Balmain Blind Bowlers, who were led by Don Griffith.
It was a beautiful sunny day and after some very good bowling from both teams, we all adjourned to theclubhouse for refreshments and social activities.
We look forward to our blind friends returning.
