HOLSWORTHY Bowling Club recently made their annual visit to play the Plymouth Tourists Bowling Club at the bowling green on The Hoe. They set off by coach from Holsworthy at 10am making their usual visit to the garden centre at Carkeel, Saltash for coffee and spend an hour browsing/shopping. They then proceeded to Plymouth and the club house where lunch was ready for them, after which there was time for a short stroll on The Hoe before commencing the match at 2.30pm.
