Brian launches the new season at Pembroke Dock Bowling Club
The 2019 season at Pembroke Dock Bowling Club opened on Saturday 6th April as the longest-serving member of the club, Mr Brian Dowling, was invited to get the season underway by rolling the Silver Jack; the traditional ceremony which marks the dawning of a new season at the Memorial Park Green.
Before the ceremony, Brian (pictured above with Club Chairman Mr Alan Yea) was presented with a framed “Certificate of Achievement” to commemorate his proud record. Brian addressed the assembled membership, recounting some amusing moments from his 50-years at the club and thanking them for the framed certificate.
Club President, Mrs Diana Davies, offered up the Silver Jack to Brian (pictured below) which was duly delivered. He followed up with two respectable woods; and the season was off to a jolly good start!
