The club’s individual successes saw Adrian Mears win gold in boccia and stick ball at Crawley, Nichola Smith in boccia and short mat bowls, Sophie Geraets in bean bag, Jeremy Christopher in table tennis, Richard Best in boccia and Timothy Record in quoits.

Silver medallists from the association were Adrian Mears (darts), Carol Jeffrey (bar billiards), Lisa Pearson (new age kurling) and Lesley Norton (short mat bowls).

The competitors, led by association secretary Kate Allen, were taken to the K2 Centre by Mike Fildes and David Wheeler from Bognor Regis Rotary Club.

Mr Fildes said: “As always, it was a really enjoyable day. All the competitors taking part got involved from the start. There was a competitive but friendly atmosphere evident throughout the day.”
