AMESBURY Bowls Club are poised for the new season.

The Salisbury Road outfit opened their Green on Saturday in preparation for the forthcoming season.

The Ladies hope to repeat last year's success as winners of the Salisbury & District League and start their campaign with their first match away to Warminster on May 5.

This season sees the club host the quarter and semi final of the Ladies National Fours on May 21 and a South West Counties League match Bowls Wiltshire Ladies versus Somerset on June 15.

New members are welcome and the club is holding an open day on Friday (6pm to 8pm) and Saturday (10am to midday).

The club say they would like to thank the Amesbury Area Board for a grant, which has enabled the replacement of the Green Watering system, and also to Mallon Wealth Management, Will Case & Partners, JK Carpets & Flooring and Amesbury Printing for their sponsorship for the forthcoming season.
