New blood from Mary and experience from Maurice, make a winning partnership for this year’s outdoor captains.

The 2011 outdoor season marks a change of captaincy at Desborough Bowls Club and the duty this year falls to Mary Martin for the women and Maurice Rhymer for the men.

Vice captain in 2010 and now in her seventh season at the club, Mary is looking forward to her year as captain, having recently given up work.

She is involved in many activities at the club and represents Desborough

in the Thames Valley League and Royal Shield matches as well as the club friendlies.

Maurice was previously club captain in 2004 and has held a number of posts on the outdoor committee during his time at Desborough BC.

He will also chair the committee during the club’s next indoor season.

Their chosen charity this year is Help for Heroes and both wish all members a successful outdoor season in 2011.
