As our local Bossel competition is rapidly becoming a well-enjoyed event in Surlingham, Bramerton and Rockland St. Mary, we have decided to play for a roving Bossel trophy, to be unveiled at the next event on the 26th October. The 11am start is at Rockland St. Mary’s Star Lane, along Bullockshed Lane towards the A146, ending up in the Gull for a traditional Italian meal and refreshments. To book and pay £8.50, please ring Jane by 23rd October on 01508 538415. It is advised to come on a bicycle, it is ever so convenient to cycle back, rather than walk back to a car park.
