Bowls Section
Outdoor pursuits are also catered
for at "The Cons". To the rear of the Club there is a real gem in the shape
of a well maintained bowling green, courtesy of the Bowls Section, with

away behind high walls - to the envy of many a Club in the
area!

The Rowell Fair
1204~2004 |
|
As well as the many one-off events
organised throughout the year, "The Cons" is traditionally host to The Rowell
Fair Breakfast where we open Tresham Hall to the many visitors this event
attracts for a hearty breakfast prior to the 800 year old tradition of the
Proclamation Ceremony.
This Ceremony begins at the stroke
of 6 o'clock in the morning outside the west door of the Church on the Monday
after the Feast of the Holy Trinity (known locally as Rowell Fair Monday).
After this reading, the Bailiff (and
our very own Secretary!) Bob Denton, rides on horseback accompanied by a
bodyguard of halberdiers and the Rowell Fair Society Band and the Charter
is read at all the public houses, or sites of those now closed, in the
town.
After each reading a hearty cheer
is given for "God save the Queen and the Lord of the Manor" and the National
Anthem is played.
The party is then presented with
drinks from the landlords which include the traditional Rowell Fair rum and
milk for the Bailiff, a drink designed to keep the morning chill away, with
beers for the halberdiers and the band.
After some good humoured horseplay,
where local youths try to disarm the halberdiers, the procession moves onto
the next hostelry where the ceremony is repeated. |
