Council Reports 9 Sport & Leisure in Myland Severalls Bowls Club has been in existence for over 100 years and is located in Kirby Drive just off Mill Road, in Mile End (few local residents know of it’s existence) with free parking. It was originally part of the sports facilities for Severalls Hospital and had catering and hospitality up until the hospital closed in 1997. The actual bowls green has a covenant on it, which means it cannot be used for anything other than sporting purposes i.e. bowls. In 2018, members clubbed together and purchased the site from developers and formed a charitable trust. The bowls green and buildings are all maintained by volunteers, which allows for a full season of friendlies and competitions. This year, with some generous support from Myland Community Council, the club has been able to update its toilet facilities, as part of plans for improvements to the whole site. Bowling is from mid-April to mid-September. The club is always open for new members - just turn up in flat-soled shoes at any time that the club is open. Bowls equipment and tuition can be provided and you will be made most welcome at a small but friendly local club. For more details: Click HERE or call John Ford on 07979 798238. Cllr Phil Coleman
