CLACTON and District Indoor Bowls Club hosted their first-ever Ladies’ Gala Day.

It was hailed a great success, with 14 teams taking part from the Clacton, Thorpe, Harwich and Colchester areas.

The winners were Happy Valley Outdoor Bowls Club, from Clacton, and the runners-up were Harwich.

Thanks went to gala day organiser Jean Taylor.
