Summer Sports - Bowls
The new clubhouse overlooks top green
consistent cut and maximum thatch removal. The plan is to diagonally nylon brush in both directions to stand up the sward and remove any accrued debris which can encourage thatch. This should be repeated every two weeks. We will also consider an application of ferrous sulphate for moss control.” For the regular ‘through-the-season’ cutting, the club use a Lloyds Paladin 22” mower, backed up by a Masport cylinder mower, and Keith’s recommendation is that the cut height should be set at 5mm- 6mm. Other tools in the club’s shed include a dragbrush and switch cane.

“Where profile and funding is involved,” continued Tom, “bowls is often the poor relation. The new bridge and clubhouse caused serious financial issues. Whilst we are not the cheapest club in the county, we do currently have a healthy membership close to two hundred, which means that our annual revenue is good through membership, bar takings and functions. We also have a high number of competition players, and we run sixteen teams across a number of different Shropshire county leagues and cup competitions. Encouragingly, we also have a good number of junior members
whom, we hope, will help the club into the future.” Following my time with Tom, Peter and
Kevin, and having witnessed the enthusiasm and commitment of all concerned, I was left with a real feeling for the history of the place, and also the reassurance that the game of bowls - which has been played here for almost one hundred and thirty years - was in safe hands and would
continue to thrive on the Bylet for many more.
