Gardening Group

We are a group of gardening enthusiasts who have been meeting on the second
Thursday of each month for over 20 years at Walton Village Hall. Our season is from
October to March and a visiting speaker gives a talk at each meeting on a subject of
interest to everyone who has a garden. It may be a professional or an amateur who
can reveal ideas and hints for growing flowers and bulbs or perennials and
evergreens. Come along and enjoy swapping ideas or just socializing over a cup of
tea and biscuits. Each year we organise a visit to a local garden where refreshments
are available. The picture shows last year’s visit when about 30 members turned up.

SWPAC have 2 teams playing on Wednesday afternoons in the Stafford Veterens Bowling league and
6 playing on Thursday afternoons in the Stafford 55 Bowling League. Both leagues start at the
beginning of April. The Veterens League continues to the end of September and the 55 League until
the end of August. Every team plays an equal number of home and away matches. In both leagues the
match starts with games played by 3 pairs and (usually after a break for tea) 4 singles games; so up to
10 players from each team play each week. The results of the league matches and competitions are
posted on the website bowlsresults.co.uk
Both leagues hold competitions for singles, pairs and triples. Stafford Phoenix runs its own drawn
doubles competition. Currently the fee for each inivdual entering a competiiton is £1. The 2 Riverway
greens are available on Monday afternoons for practice or for social bowling during the bowling

One day as a league player either on Wednesday or Thursday £26pp
Two days as a league player on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons £45. League players can also
