TAUNTON Vivary Bowling Club is holding an Open Day on Saturday, May 27 to welcome new bowlers and anyone interested in just giving the sport a try.

Coaches will be on hand to give advice, if wanted, or you can just give it a go.

The club has said: "Come along to the club between 11.00am and 4.00pm on Saturday 27.

"You will get a warm welcome, the bar will be open – and you get a chance to start a new activity in the sunshine!"
