BOOTHS supermarkets are sponsoring the Elswick Crown Green Bowls team for the 2001 season.

Situated on the Fylde coast, Elswick bowling club is one of the most reputable of its kind and will be sponsored by Booths for a 12- month period.

Founded in 1991, with Anne Robinson as its president, the club currently competes in a number of regional leagues and has held the League President's Title no less than three times.

Club members Terry Hindle and Ray Angus also reign as last year's Longridge Open Doubles Champions. The ladies team is the Over Wyre Ladies Champions.
