Taunton Deane Bowling Club's men's A-team had their final league game of the season abandoned.

Several torrential downpours on Saturday, August 29, left the green dangerous to play on.

Deane needed just four points to guarantee automatic promotion but now face a nerve-wracking wait for the league organising committee to decide what points will be awarded for the game.

A spokesperson for the club said: "The prospect of having the highest quality bowls in the county back at the Deane bodes well and would ensure that the top players in the region would once again be on show at the club."

Taunton Deane is offering three weeks of free bowling on Wednesday mornings for the next three months, followed by half-price membership for your first year.

They will also host an open day on Saturday, September 26, from 10am to 2pm.

For more information, call reception between 9am and 1pm on 01823 353644, email enquiries@tdbowls.com, or check out the Tauton Deane Bowling Club website.

The club is keen to welcome both complete beginners and experienced bowlers.
