NORTH WALES BOWLS ARCHIVE

With the help from old bible editions of the 'North Wales Weekly News' dating back to the 1920's, I intend to publish some very interesting accounts of North Wales Bowling competitions, events and characters from years gone by. The Weekly News up until the 1970's reported on a large sporting area stretching from Holyhead, down to Caernarfon and Llanrwst, and along to Prestatyn.
