Fairview House Care Home recently shared a wonderful story about two residents enjoying a very special trip to Aberdeen Indoor Bowling Club – and what a day it was!

Alec returned to the lanes like a true champion. Bowling has been a huge part of his life for over 30 years as a proud member of  Aberdeen Indoor Bowling Club, a membership he still holds today! As soon as he walked in, Alec knew exactly where his locker was and where his bowls were kept, as if no time had passed at all.

He began his journey in outdoor bowling before moving indoors, collecting countless achievements along the way — including multiple championship titles and representing the Scottish Seniors in competitions across the country. Watching Alec reconnect so naturally with a place that holds so many memories was truly special!

Eveline also shone on the trip. She first took up bowling with her husband and son, playing both indoors and out. As a long-time member of her local club in Bridge of Don, she became an active and dedicated member and even a club champion! Her competitive spirit, especially when playing against her husband, always brought laughter and energy to the club.

Seeing them both return to a sport they loved was a beautiful reminder of the joy that meaningful activities bring.
