A BOWLS’ club is kitted out and ready to play, thanks to a local pharmacist.

Kelloe Bowling Club has been presented with 18 jackets by Pharmacy Express, which opened a branch in the village, near Durham, last autumn.

Secretary Benson Turnbull said: “We’re all over the moon at the jackets.”

The team competes in the South West Durham Division One and the Rural League and has about 20 members including Mr Turnbull and his wife, Brenda.
