On 12th August 1927, the Consett Guardian published a letter and poem submitted by an anonymous reader, who called himself "One of the boys".
To help us celebrate the Club’s centenary, we are hoping you can write us a new poem! It can be about Consett Park Bowling Club, bowling in general, memories of a bowler, or Blackhill and Consett Park. It’s up to you, but the poem should mention bowls or bowling.
Please submit your poems to the Club by the end of July 2023. You can use the Contact Us page.
Poems may, at our discretion, be published as part of our centenary celebrations and thereafter, with appropriate attribution. You can remain anonymous, like the 1927 poet, if you wish.
It isn’t a competition, and there isn’t have a prize. We simply hope you enjoy writing a poem, or enjoy reading the poems that others have written.
Thank you.
On the same page of the Consett Guardian was the North-West Durham League table, with Consett Park at the top of the table.
