Spanish Tour 2009

After much discussion and toying with the idea of going to Portugal the club decided to return to Benalmadena on the Costa Del Sol. They actually went back to the same hotel the 4* Sol Aloha Puerto hotel which was located close to the beach and in walking distance from the marina and Torremolnos.

Matches were arranged against local teams and a total of four matches were played. The matches were competitive but friendly and a great time was had by all who came on the tour as can been seen by the photographs below.

The tour was another great success and was enjoyed by all who took part. The club have decided that Portugal should be suggested for 2009.

Spanish Tour 2008

This year 2008, the club toured further South in Spain and visited Benalmadena on the Costa Del Sol. They stayed at the 4* Sol Aloha Puerto hotel which was located close to the beach and in walking distance from the marina and Torremolnos.

The tour included four matches against three local teams with the club playing one team twice. The opposition was generally made which were up of ex-pats. All of the venus had artificial greens and the clubs visited were Benalmadena Bowls club who we played twice, Mijas Bowls club and Miraflores Bowls Club. The club captain Frank Abraham selected a captain for each match, the president took the first game, the chairman the second, the past chairman the third and the club captain took the return match against Benalmadena. All the matches were played in a friendly but competitive manner.

The tour was a great success and was enjoyed by all who took part. As a direct result it is hoped that another tour could be organised for next year 2009, maybe Portugal.
