It will be with pride that Garvey at last fly their Association flag throughout the season.
The club was formed on October 3, 1956, so it has been a long wait for this special occasion.
Ken Armstrong, of course, unfurled the flag, watched by the Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh, Thomas Beckett, and Lisnagarvey president, Ivan Craig.
Among the other special guests were IBA president, Robert Madden; NI Provincial Association president, Noel Linton; NI Private Greens president, David McCloy and Bowling League of Ireland vice-president, John Leonard.
