THE Rotary Club of Crediton Boniface is set to hold its 49th annual Industrial Bowls Tournament at Crediton Bowling Club. 

It will begin on Monday, August 5. The semi-finals and final will be held on Sunday, August 18.  

The competition was started by the Rotary Club of Crediton in 1973 and a competition has been held most years since. It is described as “a marvellous community event which brings people together from all walks of life and raises money for charity.” 

Last year, there were 55 teams which each had four members. The winning team was RJ Tyres led by their captain Richard Jones, and the runners-up were the Nomads ‘A’ Team.  

The Rotary event saw as much as £1,250 raised for local charities. 

Anyone wishing to enter a team(s) this year should contact Paul Radnor on 01363 773002 or by email at [email protected]
