It is a tradition stretching back over 100 years, that the ‘first wood of the season’ is bowled by a well-known personality from the city.
This year we were delighted that Twigge from BBC Radio Derby performed the opening ceremony - and went on to bowl a few ends - and say a few well-chosen words.
We are also delighted that Twigge has now joined the Club - and we look forward to seeing him as and when his busy schedule permits.
The bowling surface was treated to an extensive renovation programme over the winter months - and when cut to match height in the next week or so it should be in its best ever condition.
