Verwood Boules Pitch
Verwood
Twinning Association built a Boules pitch on the Recreation
Ground in Verwood which has recently been refurbished by
the Rotary Club with help from The Solar Farm Community Fund.
This
pitch is open to any Verwoodian to play Boules unless an
organised match has been pre-booked.
It is
hoped to organise an "Open Day" for groups/indiviuals to come
and see and have ago and maybe set up a "league" of groups
or Individuals to play organised matches.
If you are interested in using the pitch and being involved
then please contact :-
Tim Garrick on 01202 825520

Snippet
...
Some think that
Three Legged Cross may have
been named after the gallows, which were often nicknamed the three legged
mare.
|
|
Verwood
has a namesake ...
... in Saskatchewan, Canada. It appears now to be mainly a Ghost
Town with few families remaining. It has many old buildings including houses,
church, grain elevator and an old wooden pavement.
