The club hosted a group of players from the Kia Toa Bowling Club in Hastings over the weekend.

There wasn’t much that was serious and everyone seemed relaxed when Kevin advised the members that his pet pig-which became famous in the Vodafone television ads- would live out his life in peace and contentment…and never become bacon!
