The Maccabi Lawn Bowls Association will be touring Israel for the fourth consecutive year when it plays matches against all of Israel's bowling clubs in October.

The tour is organised and headed by Maccabi GB Vice President Stuart Lustigman and features 37 male and 18 female bowlers against players from Ramat Gan, Savyon, Kiryat One, Haifa, Netanya and Ra'anana, culminating in a gala bowling night in Ra'anana.

Lustigman said: "This year's tour is the largest so far with 77 participants, including 30 people who have not toured previously.

"The trip is also programmed to provide the group with an insight into Israel's remarkable development and the current political, economic, cultural and social situation. It's a very important time to be supporting Israel. I'm proud to be leading this group."
