On Saturday 20th April, Barnet Bowls and Croquet Club lifetime Honorary member Prue Patrick raised the new club flag that she has donated, with Club President, Derek Whiter.

The bowls club, founded in 1926 became a Bowls and Croquet Club a year ago, so it was time for a new flag to reflect that.

Club Secretary Chris Faux said “We welcome new members to come and play Bowls, Croquet or both, for details see our website at https://www.barnetbowlsandcroquetclub.org.uk/community/barnet-bowls-and-croquet-club-20358/home/
