EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and camaraderie at Alexandra Park Bowls Clubs in Hastings, East Sussex. The players, dressed in their crisp white attire, stand proudly on the green in front of the charming pavilion. Dating back to 1893 when the Alexandra Park Bowls Club first played on public lawns at this very park, it is evident that a rich history lies within these grounds. In 1907, the green was officially laid out, solidifying its place as a hub for lawn bowls enthusiasts. The Alexandra and Clive Vale Bowls Clubs now share both the green and pavilion facilities. This partnership between two clubs with deep roots adds an extra layer of community spirit to this already picturesque setting. As summer unfolds, there is no better way to spend leisurely afternoons than engaging in this beloved sport amidst such serene surroundings. The sound of bowls gently rolling across the meticulously manicured lawn creates a soothing soundtrack for all who visit. This image serves as a reminder of simpler times when outdoor recreation brought people together without distractions or screens. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an enduring legacy that continues to thrive today. Whether you are an avid bowler or simply appreciate the beauty of traditional sports set against nature's backdrop, this print evokes feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for our shared heritage.
