Basil Wells

Precision Sports

Basil Wells is a former Rhodesian international lawn bowler, a player of the precision sport in which players roll biased bowls toward a small white jack. He is recorded for winning a bronze medal in the fours at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, held in Cardiff, where he bowled with Alex Pascoe, Charles Bradley and Ronnie Turner for Southern Rhodesia. His year of birth is not recorded in the article the Atlas has read, and he is listed there as possibly living. The fours is the four-player team event of the lawn bowls programme, and this Commonwealth Games bronze is the one achievement the source states for him.
