New pavilion for Cowbridge bowls club - 26/09/06

 

A new £200,000 pavilion for one of the area's most popular bowling clubs has been officially opened by Vale of Glamorgan Council Leader Cllr Jeffrey James.

 

Completed last year, the pavilion is now home to around 100 members of the Cowbridge Bowling Club.

 

Praising the club for offering "excellent opportunities" to promote more active lifestyles and for their professional assistance in delivering the project, Cllr James said: "Bowls has to be one of the best sports for all sections of the community ranging from schoolchildren to more senior members. This development has provided the club with an excellent base from which to increase its membership and the ability to control its own destiny."

 

Thanking the three Cowbridge ward members – Cllrs Catherine Clay, Hunter Jarvie and Geoff Cox – for their assistance, Cllr James added: "The Council is always appreciative of the input of local communities through its representatives, and I am proud of the way Cowbridge residents, along with the Council, continue to help in the development of the town's parks and open spaces."
