STRATTON Bowling Club's green is open for the season. The honour of bowling first wood went to the club's own Wendy Trenchard in her role of Chair of Cornwall Group Two (the old north-east division.) She was then presented with a bouquet on behalf of the club by president Ray Jennings (pictured). This was followed by a spider match, which was won for the second year in succession by Margaret Cottle — quite some feat. An afternoon of bowling followed in chilly but dry conditions. Judging by the amount of laughter, a good time was had by all. For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
