Pelton Fell's Joan Brown represented Durham County in the Ladies singles and Senior singles competitions at the Bowls England National finals held at Leamington Spa.
She fought her way through to the last 16 of the singles and to the quarter finals of the senior singles.
In each case she lost to the eventual winner of the competition.
Well done.

Sadly we lost our D&D millennium cup semi-final.
However we will have teams playing on finals day in the Triples, Pairs and Mixed pairs competitions.
Good luck to all involved.
On the last day of the Durham & District Saturday league we needed 3 points against Spennymoor to be sure of winning the league.
We actually got 8.
Very well done to everyone who has helped in any of the games.
We also played the first of 2 games in the Friday South Tyne KO cup last night.
On a tricky green at Jarrow we ran out winners by 90 - 43.
We face Dunston next Friday in the final, probably at Lyndhurst.
Good luck to the team.
I hope to be able to report progress in the ladies leagues shortly when we get final confirmation of positions.
Durham & District finals day next Saturday, so hopefully more chances for success.
Success for Pelton Fell

Update March 2021
Please see the statement from Bowls England on their website.
In short, all National and County competitions are intended to go ahead this year, but with some revision to format and timing.
The club intends to take part in any leagues that go ahead provided that any ongoing restrictions can be complied with.
We intend to organise some internal club leagues to provide some focus for members until the formal leagues begin. I will let you know further details when they are available.
We hope to open the green shortly for casual play, when I have produced a policy document to cover the ongoing restrictions.
Stay healthy, stay fit, and stay safe.

We had a visitor to Pelton Fell recently.
This lady is the daughter of one of our lady members.
She plays bowls at National level.
So don't give me reasons why you cannot play bowls.

Tennis Court Information
The park is run by trustees (not the council).
The bowling club uses the park facilities with the agreement of the trustees. Part of that arrangement is that we take money for the use of the courts.
The trustees should arrange for the park gates to be opened each morning. However you might find that only the car park gate is opened.
The bowling club is usually open each afternoon and evening on weekdays and up to about 5pm on weekends. The bowlers usually lock the park when they finish.
All of this is voluntary and depends on people being willing to be there. As long as access to the park is available the tennis courts are available to use. We do not operate any booking system.
If there is someone at the bowls club we will request payment for the courts. If there is no one at the bowls club, just carry on. Charges are £5 per hour per court for adults and £3 for under 18’s.
