A NEW bowling festival is being launched which will bring together able-bodied and wheelchair players from all over Britain.
The week-long competition will take place at the Alexandra Bowls Centre, in Scarborough, next May.
The festival will be open to both crown green and indoor bowlers, aged 50 or more, and there will be events for singles, ladies' and men's pairs, and mixed pairs on the former with singles, pairs and fours on the latter.
More than 800 entrants are expected and sponsors, Heavenly Bed Company, have invited paralympic gold medallist Debbie Brennan and ex- stuntman Eddie Kidd along.
Further details and entry forms can be obtained from the centre, in Peasholm Road, Scarborough, YO12 7TT or by contacting Janice Gower at 20 Rydale Road, Lancaster LA1 3HA.
