DENISE FINDS HER ‘PLACE IN THE SUN’ AT SAN MIGUEL
Despite the heavy clouds and constant threat of rain a film crew from the Channel 4 television programme ‘ A Place in the Sun’ visited San Miguel Bowls Club last Wednesday where they spent a couple of hours filming a clip for the property show that will be broadcast later in the year. Everything of course was stage managed with many of the clips shot on two or three occasions with interior designer and tv presenter Ben Hillman posing the questions. The filming centred around the visit to the Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja of mother and
daughter Denise and Rebecca from Newark. The pair are looking for a dwelling in the area prior to the mother’s retirement. In anticipation of having far more time on her hands, Denise showed an interest in lawn bowling to the programme makers, hence the visit to San Miguel. The trio were hosted by Club Secretary Pat McEwan who gave them all brief explanation of the finer points of the sport prior to joining them as they each played a couple of ends. As might be expected the presenter and his guests showed that their skills aren’t quite yet up to the SABA Summer League standard, and with the gulley gathering up most of their efforts, neither are they likely to be so anytime soon.
