A full day session at RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire put the squad to the test. With a thorough workout involving plenty of running, lifting and carrying tyres, water and each other! As well as a bit of rugby under fatigued conditions, Lee also arranged some team building exercises to give the squad the best preparation for the season ahead. ‘Hard but very enjoyable’ has been the recurring feedback so thank you very much to Lee and all at @RAF_Leeming.

After the work out the squad drove back to Cleck where Stuart Johnson, the club’s Crown Green Bowls Chairman, had organised a completion for the F Troupe Plinth. A trophy aimed at social and new bowlers, which many of the squad took part in. Craig Blackburn eventually lifting the trophy around midnight after beating Tiger Tim Hall in the final.
