He gave an legacy of outstanding service to Ilminster Bowling & Tennis Club and he will remembered with a special service to rename Ilminster's new outdoor viewing gallery.
A special person, and we wish Ilminster all the best in their tributes to Mark. It won't be the last we pay tribute to Mark on Bowls HQ this summer 👀
Good luck to all of the 🏴 players in the International Series.
England have a ridiculously strong squad + they've got a fantastic chance of going and having a successful weeks bowling 🏅
I've been lucky enough to play with some of these players over the years. A special mention to Kent's Harry Goodwin - I'm delighted to see him pull on the jersey for 🏴 in an event like this.
Enjoy, play well and have a competition to remember 💪

👑The Somerset Comeback Queens have done it!
What a day for Somerset's Ladies Teams, as they get ready for Leamington after a thrilling extra end win over Devon.
In the Regional Semi Final, the two rinks recovered from 11-2 and 11-6 down respectively to run out 43-39 winners.
In the Regional Final, they faced Devon in a hotly contested showdown that boasted a plethora of English Internationals on both teams.
They started slow, but they once again came back well. The respective rinks fought back from 11-8 and 13-2 to draw the match 38-38 with a 3-shot, final end pickup. And, Somerset held their nerve in the extra end to book their spot in the Finals at Leamington!
