BOWLS. Southampton Bowling Club, which dates from the year 1299, will this week decide the most important event of its season, namely, the Green Medal tournament, which carries with it the “knighthood” of the winner. On no other bowling ground is this observance honoured. Ever since 1775 continuously this novel prize has been under annual competition. The "knights,” of whom there are fourteen, although precluded from again playing in this competition, have the privilege of placing the jack. The tournament, which opens on Wednesday morning, is won by the first player scoring seven points. At times the competition will last over three days, whilst in others it has been decided a single day. The winner, during the remainder of his membership, is entitled to the prefix of `Sir' to his Christian name whenever referred to by a fellow-player….8/8/1907

A pop-up lawn bowls festival in the middle of the City of London? With DJs, street food, cocktails and live entertainment? It sounded like a punchline.

Five years later, we have welcomed over 100,000 guests, hosted more than 1200 corporate clients, raised over £46,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital and built what is now officially the largest lawn bowls festival in the world.

We did not set out to save lawn bowls, we set out to solve a problem. After fifteen years in live events and hospitality, I knew that the corporate summer party market was stale...LBC news
