THIS year will be extra special for the Isle of Wight Indoor Bowls Club.
The club is celebrating their 50th season, which started with a friendly between members and Ryde's mayor, Cllr Henry Adams.
World indoor singles champion Katherine Rednall and Perry Martin, the national mixed pairs champion, both visited the club as part of the event.
The Island's national outdoor under-25 singles champion, Travis Meller, and Keith Beckett, who finished fifth in the national indoors finals, were also present.
