Thursday 1st September, saw 34 members of Brixham Bowling Club, departing for their annual tour, this time heading for Wales. Their first match was a 7 rink friendly at Yate Bowling Club, Near Bristol.
After a fabulous buffet lunch and a very enjoyable game and company, we headed for our hotel in Cardiff.
The Parc Hotel, (a Jury's Inn) was most accommodating and we settled in in no time, finishing off our day with an evening meal at 8.30pm. retiring to bed ready for our next game on the Friday.
Again, after a midday buffet, we enjoyed another game of bowls in lovely company at Cardiff Bowls Club, in Sophia Gardens.
On Saturday our next match at Beechwood Bowls Club, Newport, was rained off, resulting in a pleasant day, (with umbrellas) touring the shops and markets of Cardiff.
On Sunday we departed our hotel, heading for Chepstow, where we once again had a very pleasant afternoon of bowls with enjoyable company. We left Chepstow at 5pm heading home, but stopping at The Waterloo Cross Inn, at Uffculme, at 7pm for a very pleasant meal before returning to Brixham by 10pm.
A very enjoyable break for all concerned.
