Trip To Pendle / Bowls On The Park

Yesterday I made my way up to Pendle in East Lancashire to help campaign for my friend and excellent prospective MP for Pendle Andy Stephenson. It was an excellent day, although not before suffering a forty-minutes delay at Bromley Cross station because the train “couldn’t get enough traction”. I think this means that the rails are too slippy for the train to run, which is not a particularly helpful thing to happen to a railway. Still, I got there eventually.

This afternoon there’s an event on Parr Fold Park. It’s the third of a series of “intergenerational” bowls events involving juniors and the regular bowlers. The previous two have been hugely successful and the neighbourhood team deserve huge credit for organising them. The sun has decided to come out today so fingers crossed for another great event!
