To the outsider bowls might seem to be a sport for the middle-aged and the unathletic, and certainly some of the contestants in the Old Barlovians Bowls
Championship are more renowned for their prowess in sinking a pint than for their fitness. But winning is still important and this year there's not just a trophy at stake, there's also a marriage.
With RICHARD DURDEN. RONALD HERDMAN. GORDON REID and BRIAN SMITH
Directed by JANE MORGAN Stereo
(George Raistrick is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
