A York bowls club will be hosting a national sporting event next week.
Lawn bowls organisation Visually Impaired Bowls England (VIBE) will be holding their national triples event at York Railway Bowls & Social Club, Holgate, from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 15 August.
VIBE is the recognised body to oversee Lawn Bowls for the Visually Impaired in England.
“We are very proud to have been asked to host this event and are very much looking forward it,” said Mick O’Donnell, bowls manager at York Railway Bowls & Social Club.
