Memories
This is notice of a series of articles looking at the history of some of the local competitons to coincide with this year's episode in that sequence. Dave Parkin is pulling together the stories behind the titles as he asks if these really were the Good Old Days or has history distorted the truth about these events.
Dave Parkin takes up the introduction of this new series and sets out his objectives and scope of the competitions to be covered.
As the Winter bowling season draws to a close in Huddersfield with the traditional end of season Champion of Champions at The Griffin on Easter Sunday, the new Summer season gets off to a bang with 3 local competitions with finals the following weekend.
