Seventeen bowlers entered our annual Trophy Competition playing in warm sunny weather after a delayed start due to an early shower and overcast skies.
Games were keenly contested leading to a final game between Andy Hubery and Dave Johnson. The outcome was a win for Dave by 21/9 after 24 ends
rounding off another enjoyable competitive day.
Our thanks to Carl and Amy for their laudable administration skills in steering the flow of games to end on time at 4 pm.
A quiz night led by Bowler turned Quizmaster Stewart Lee to top up funds for the maintenance of the bowling green proved very popular and was attended by around 50 people keen to test their brainpower.
Thanks to GreenCare, this year we had a fantastic display of wildflowers in a previously unloved corner of the Park along Thornhill Road.
Once again we are proud to achieve Green Flag status for our lovely park. The Green Flag Award® is an international scheme that recognises and rewards well managed parks and green spaces, setting the standard for recreational outdoor spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
The Activity Centre is open for a number of activities.
There's no need to pre-book, just turn up and join in! All fitness levels/abilities welcome.

Huntingtree Park is situated in the residential area of Hasbury, a short distance from Halesowen Town Centre.
The park occupies about 9 acres of land between Huntingtree Road and Thornhill Road opposite Huntingtree Primary School.
More details including a map are available on the Park page.
The Friends of Huntingtree Park group was formed in 2006 to improve the park and change its run down
appearance. After a Consultation Day with local residents in 2008, a
Masterplan of improvements was approved by Dudley MBC.
We believe that by making improvements to the park we will
address anti-social behaviour, create a sense of community pride
in the park and increase the number of people using the amenities.
We are a voluntary group who receive great support for our
efforts from the local community, Dudley CVS, Dudley MBC and GreenCare.
Tuesday 1pm to 3pm
The exercise and socialise group meet at 1pm for a short walk
in and around the park returning for a welcome ‘cuppa’ and an
opportunity to knit, sew and chat.
All age groups are welcome to join and will receive a warm welcome.
