taking place in the 1930's . The current green was relayed in the early 1950s and is now looked

after by Mark Hammond. It is without doubt considered to be one of the best playing surfaces in

the area. Blackstones Bowls Club is a section of the Blackstones Sports and Social Club

which also provides football, netball and the usual pub games to its members. It holds

entertainment nights and bingo in the clubhouse. The Bowls Club has 60 playing members and
