Work is underway on Cambridge Bowling Club’s new bandstand green following the installation of floodlights over the clubhouse green.

All should be finished in time for the club’s 125th anniversary later this year, club spokesperson Margaret Stott told The News.

Having a revamped Tiger Turf green in place of the wobbly and uneven one bowlers used before will allow the club to hold bigger tournaments while the floodlights will encourage bowlers to use the other greens after work.

The club was established in 1898 with a number of events planned to commemorate the anniversary throughout November.
