To mark his 30 years membership of the George Bowling Club, Terry Williams was presented with a silver salver. He has served on the club committee for 29 years and has been club chairman for the past 23 years.

The George BC has for many of those years been regarded as the top club in the Warwick and Worcester County Bowling Association clinching many trophies both at a team and individual at local and national level.

Terry who began playing the game in 1968 at the Londonderry BC followed by nine years at the Holly Bush BC joined the Gorge in 1978.

With their Alliance side this year competing in the Staffordshire League and a new doubles competition featuring some of the games leading players taking place on March 29th Terry says the club are setting their stall out to be the hunter once more and not the hunted.
