A Cypriot Bowls Society
My name is Jack Anastasi. I was pleased to read the article about bowls by my friend Mikkos Chrisostomou. I have been bowling for 16 years and I am still looking forward to my next game. Bowls brings great pleasure, keeps you fit and is a great way to make new friends and socialise. For example In 2002, six members from my club including myself set a world record for playing continuously for 36 hours. We collected about £.3000.00 for various charities..
I have tried to get other Cypriots into bowling but I have not had much luck. The last couble of years I have met a few Cypriots at other clubs. I met Mikkos at a match and I also knew from my connections with the Cypriot Football League. I then I suggested to him whether it was possible to organise a Cypriot bowling team. Mikkos agreed and we set the ball rolling so to speak. At the moment we have about nine people interested and are hoping to get a few more.
We are having our first Cypriot team match on the 31st May at my club, Arnos Bowling Club at 2.00pm. If anyone is interested in watching this match or in bowls in general, please come along. The club is situated in Arnos ParkN11 1BT next to the tennis courts / adjacent to the underground arches.
