Vale MP Alun Cairns joined bowling and football club volunteers in Dinas Powys last week. Mr Cairns attended the finals of the Men’s Open Singles Championship of Wales held, for the 97th year, at Dinas Powys Bowling Club on The Common. Later Mr Cairns attended the annual Dinas Powys Football Club dinner as a guest of the club.
Craig Maycock from Merthyr won the bowling final, and Mr Cairns paid tribute to the finalists and the volunteers who put on such a professional event.
Mr Cairns said: “I was delighted to have been able to watch such a prestigious final. I must pay tribute to the club officials who organised such an impressive event. The playing surface and organisation was immaculate. I also very much enjoyed attending the football club dinner – a great deal of money was raised which will help sustain the club through next season.”
