A new concrete path. October 2011
Monday 3rd Oct the pathway was dug out and prepared for the concrete. Friday 6th October the concrete arrived and was wheelbarrow convoyed into place. Gerald Goodman and Gerry Hurford did the technical bit with help from Pete Bryan and the young lady that drove the truck. The labours were Dave Williams, Pete Holtom, Les Husband, Chris Hayes and Mike Bell. Mike had the hugely taxing task of turning the switch to dispense the concrete into the wheel barrows and also to press the camera button...exhausting stuff!

Warwickshire Women's Bowling Association (WWBA) played a game against Bowls England on the Entaco green. Entaco provided a buffet lunch at mid-day for the Bowls England visitors, who travelled from all parts of the country, and a post match cooked meal for all 61 players and guests. The match was held to honour WWBA's 75th Anniversary.
Les Husband, Entaco President, welcomed WWBA President Margaret Andrew and President Joan Balding from Bowls England. Margaret Andrew is also a long standing member of Entaco Bowls Club. The local press attended so we look forward to the coverage. The weather stayed fine throughout the match and everyone seemed to enjoy the afternoon and appreciate the food laid on by the club.
