Season’s First Ball

ANNA Firth MP took part in the outdoor opening drive at Chalkwell Bowling & Petanque Club recently.
The MP attended along with the Mayor and Mayoress and councillors Folkard and Courtney.
Anna Firth also tried her hand at Petanque on the club’s purpose made pitch.
The Bowls club has been in operation for over 100 years and provides its members with both indoor and outdoor rinks. There are also numerous interesting social activities on offer.
Ms Firth said: “It was great fun to visit Chalkwell Bowling & Petanque Club and bowl the first ball of the outdoor season.

“There’s a lot of skill involved in the game of bowls and I really admire those who do it regularly and make it look so easy. I can tell you now that it isn’t easy at all!
“The Club offers loads of social activities for members, there really is something for everyone. It’s so important as we get older to remain physically active and challenge ourselves with sports like Bowls and Petanque.”
Club Secretary Jon Scroxton added: “We were delighted to have Anna Firth MP visit Chalkwell on Saturday to  join us for our outdoor opening drive. She seemed to really enjoy the bowling experience and was very keen to try her hand at Pétanque too.
“If she ever has the time to take up a new hobby we would be very happy to welcome her as a member of the Chalkwell Bowling and Pétanque Club.”
