Match v Chelsea Pensioners on 13th August marks the finale to our centenary celebrations
The Chelsea Pensioners are retired British Army veterans who live at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. They come from various backgrounds across the United Kingdom, and their home is an historic institution dedicated to providing care, camaraderie, and support to those who have served our nation. Bowls is a favourite occupation - and we were delighted to welcome a team on the 13th August.
The result didn't matter - what was important was spending an afternoon with these lovely people and hearing about their experiences. Their Captain, Phil expressed the team's appreciation of the welcome they received and the delicious tea, saying everyone had been very friendly - and it had been their best match of the year so far. There was word of a return match next year.
Five special matches. Five lovely teams of opponents. It has been a great year celebrating the joy of bowls by many over 100 years.
