SALSC - SALSC Events - Gents Bowls

The S.A.L.S.C. Gents 50+ Bowling took place at the West End Bowling Club, Coatbridge on the wettest day of the summer if not of the year. Local M.P. Tom Clarke a former Provost of Monklands performed the opening ceremony and welcomed the bowlers who came from all over Scotland to Coatbridge and to the West End Bowling Club. In spite of the weather all of the bowlers enjoyed themselves although the souvenir minuters of Old Poulteney Whisky were being used for medicinal purposes, well that`s what they told me, rather than souvenirs.
