The atmosphere was buzzing when 26 Ayr Rotarians arrived at LA Bowl in Miller Road, Ayr to enjoy a fun night, but with a seriously competitive edge. The thundering roll of bowling balls followed by the explosion of the hard plastic coated maple wood pins at the far end of the alley was heard all over the venue.
Regular meetings are the backbone of the club. We meet most Tuesdays at 6pm in The Stravaig Restaurant. We have a guest speaker, followed by a one-course meal. Some members also meet for breakfast at Cafe 51, second and fourth Thursday in the month.
As well as the guest speaker, members will keep the club up to date with project work and any other interesting news.
