A work party of Chichester Bowling Club members have been getting together weekly to make sure their HQ is well looked after through the winter months.

Les Stewart, as clubhouse manager, makes a list of jobs as the season ends and makes use of his skills as a joiner while enlisting the help of others.

“We drink tea and coffee and chat and it’a a very happy group totalling six of us,” said Les. “We supply our own tools mainly and you can see us clearing brambles and trying to tidy up the appearance of the clubhouse and its surroundings.

“We try to help Mick Page, who has a lot of work to do looking after the park and cricket square. In the gang of workers with me are Colin Hulbert, Colin Dean, Jim Barker, Terry Wiseman and Mick Page... and the statue.”
