The return of sport and physical activity is vital to the physical and mental health of the nation.

It is widely known that lawn green bowls has a big role to play in providing an opportunity for outdoor activity as the lockdown restrictions ease.

Goring Manor’s return to bowls is this Saturday, April 24, and members of the club eagerly await the day.

In the meantime, some of their members thought that it would be a good idea to limber up and do something useful for the community at the same time.

Accordingly, one of the club’s stalwarts, Bill Porter, arranged for some members of the club to take part in a beach clean at Goring.

Armed with suitable equipment, borrowed from Worthing Waste Management, thhe pickers picked the beach clean.

It is hoped that the quality of the bowls to come matches the quality of the clean-up.
