History tells us that Francis Drake played bowls before setting off to battle the armada. Now the sailors of SAMM, The Sailing Association Mar Menor, are following in his footsteps.

Each month the Social Committee, led by Jill Chorley organise a fun bowls completion at the new Pinatar Bowling alley

On December 5th, 26 members attended but only 21 actually played, the remaining 5 were enthusiastic cheerers-on.

After a very hard fought competition Mick Burgess was declared the overall winner.
