Bangers and bowls at Olney care home

Hot dogs and bowls were on the menu at Olney Meadows Care Home on bonfire night afternoon.

The care home is one of Newport Pagnell Bowls Club's sponsors and, as part of its regular social activities, they were invited to run a 'Target Bowls' session for the residents.

Ten residents and staff took part. Everyone bowled with squidgy rubber bowls, got points for ending up on the target mat, and earned extra points for hitting the soft toy target, Donald Duck.

It was quite tricky, but the standard was high, with some players scoring into double figures.

And poor Donald ended up worse for wear!

Thank you to Sam, Caryn and the staff who helped on the day. Everyone had a great time.

There were lots of smiling faces and it was lovely to see how enjoyable bowls can be - at any age!
