Nerja town hall has provided the townās Almijara Bowls Club with a municipal plot of land in the Santo TomĆ”s residential area to build a bowling green which will have six areas to play the game.
The announcement about the new green was made following a meeting between councillor Alberto TomƩ and president of the Almijara Bowls Club, David Trippas, the president of the Association of Presidents of Communities of Urbanizations NerjeƱas (APCUN), David Jimenez, and the vice president, Luis Jimenez, to coordinate the start of the work.
āWe started by clearing the plot to adapt it and to build the bowling lanes,ā said Alberto TomĆ© in a statement, in which he noted that āthe Almijara Bowls Club told us of their request for help and we have not hesitated to help themā. He also thanked āthe workā of the president of the bowling association, the involvement of APCUN and the help of the Ćlvarez de Rivera brothers.
David Trippas said he was āpleasedā that the club would be able to go back to playing bowls on the new site after the old facility was closed with a view to the land being used for new housing.
