• AN open afternoon at Southill Community Centre is set to showcase the challenging, all year round sport of Short Mat Bowls.

On Sunday, November 21 from 2pm-5pm, club members will demonstrate what the sport has to offer. Refreshments will also be available.

Members of the Short Mat Bowls Club, which include active retired people, youngsters and families, regularly participate on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and Wednesday evenings.

Although many live locally, membership is drawn from across Weymouth, some of whom are newcomers and beginners, while others are experienced, playing at County level.

West Dorset League games are hosted by the club.

So if you want good exercise, good company and fun why not come along.
