1977 Miners Welfare Bowling

Blantyre Miners Welfare Outdoor Bowling got the ball , or rather the ‘jack’ rolling in April 1977 for the start of a new season when Mrs Craig rolled the first throw.

Mrs Craig, the President’s wife is also pictured with from left to right, Lyndsay Johnston Vic President, Mrs Johnston, Tom Rankin Secretary, Mr Robert Craig President and John Cameron past President.

On Social Media, the following comments were received on Facebook:
