  Newark Indoor Bowls Centre was once again honoured to hold the annual English Bowling Federation finals which had been postponed from April 2020. Over a hundred bowlers from all around the country participated in a very exciting week of excellent bowling.

Jeny Humphries who plays at Newark Indoor Bowls Centre became the Ladies champion for the second time, overcoming a player from Durham 21-14 in the final, a title she last won in 2016. Jeny played well in front of a very supportive home crowd and came through in the early rounds easily, against opposition from Huntingdonshire 21 - 4, Cleveland 21 - 2 and Norfolk in the semi-final 21 – 6.

Jeny also played in the Ladies Pairs with Gail Donnison who were beaten 19 – 14 in a very tactical game played in a good spirit by Derbyshire pair Jeannie Baker and Pauline Marples who were the eventual winners.

Newark Indoor Bowls Centre welcomes anyone who would like to try the game of bowls and offers coaching and the loan of woods to newcomers. Bowls is a good introduction to gentle exercise for all, young or old, male and female, disabled and able-bodied. Come along and give bowls a try. Refreshments are available and there is ample parking at the centre.
