MORE than 20 people from Teesdale competed in a carpet bowls competition organised to raise the profile of the sport.
The Inter-Teesdale Carpet Bowls Competition, held in Eggleston Village Hall, attracted teams from Cotherstone, Butterknowle, Ovington and Eggleston. The event was funded by the Teesdale Village Halls Consortium Community Champion's Grant Fund, which is supported by the Department for Education and Skills.
The grant provided funding for the event, and for a bowling mat, storage cupboard and chairs. The event was organised by Jean Foster, chairwoman of Eggleston Village Hall's Bowls Club and captain of the winning Eggleston A team.
