On Saturday 31st March 2012 shoppers at the Howard Centre WGC were again offered the chance to 'have-a-go' on the Short Mat. More than 60 adults and children delivered bowls, instructed by Roy Duke (County President SM). Roy was assisted by Mick Wood (Shire Park) and Martin Barston (North Mymms). Graham Marriner the Chair of the Hertfordshire arm of the Bowls Develop Alliance and County Development Officer worked with Diana Tribe HBDA Secretary to ensure all contacts made were refered to thier local bowls club. This is a further development on last years Event.  40 contacts were offered to clubs including a couple of shoppers from Southend-on Sea. At the end of an eight and half hour session we had a tired crew by happy in the knowledge that many more people had delivered a bowl or joined a large number watching the Event.
