Photographs

A second green built in 1922, as part of a complex which included tennis courts and croquet lawn, was named The Winslow Sports Club. These facilities were situated at the top of Park Road, where the Library now stands. This Club folded at the start of the war. The author when he came to Winslow in 1952 attended a meeting held in that Club House in an attempt to reopen the Club again, but it was not to be.

To date no photographs of this Club have been located, it is always hoped that some day a print will come to life.

The present Club was formed as a result of a meeting called in July 13th. 1981, for anyone interested in forming a bowls club in the town. The following were the Founder members of Winslow Bowls Club:-

Harry Phillips	Bert Lambourne	Jean Midgley	Margaret Langley
Reg Langley	Peggy Noy	Audrey Clancy	Dot Briars*

* It is interesting to note that Dot Briars moved to Lincolnshire where she later became the County President.
