The Club’s indoor carpet bowls’ season has ended with two enjoyable competitions taking place. Eight pairs competed for the Burbery/Hollingsworth Trophy.

The subject of our March meeting was relevant to every one of us. Rebecca Spillane from Leicestershire Police talked to us about ‘How to detect and avoid fraud’. The scale of fraud is huge, yet only about 5% is reported. Part of Rebecca’s role is to raise awareness, encouraging us to talk to other people about what we have learned, and our own experiences. She said she could talk about this endlessly, but as she wasn’t wearing a watch we should give her a shout if she overran her allotted time!
