DBE vs Howard Park Bowls Club
On Saturday 11 May DBE played Howard Park at Basingstoke. A big thank you to Peter Bench, captain of Howard Park, for making DBE so welcome and for providing Ian Gourlay and David Collins to play for us. The match was played in a fantastic spirit with conditions to match and was enjoyed by all. The facilities at Howard Park in their newly refurbished pavilion were second to none. The green was excellent. All the DBE team would like to give a big thank you to the catering staff for the post match buffet which was superb. All at DBE were made to feel extremely welcome and are looking forward to playing there in the future.
