Batchwood BC are running a league called the Integra League (afternoons & evenings every Thursday) the brainchild of our member George Tutt. It has been very successful in previous years and is proving to be the case this year too. The league is designed to introduce our new(er) members to our more experienced players so that they can experience the ‘thrill of playing bowls in a competitive game’. It is once again proving to be very popular and will continue until the end of the season.
