The Greens are OPEN

With grateful thanks to Trefor, Dave and the Greens Team and all the volunteers, the greens are open.

The first bowls of the season were delivered by our chairman David, and our captains Ian & Ellen.

The weather was superb, encouraging lots of members to step on the the greens and have a roll up.

Club Short Mat Pairs

For the first time, Devizes Bowls Club held a pairs competition for its ESMBA registered league players. There was stiff competition, with 18 members taking part.

Congratulations to our winners, John Scoffield & Lynne Williams

We hope to expand the short mat club competitions next year, making them available to all club members.

Many thanks to Rob Millar for organising this inaugural event.

GREENS TEAM

For those of you who thought that the Autumn renovations was the end of the work for the Greens Team until the season start, how wrong can you be.

We have been regularly mowing ! Slit tining , fertilising , spraying fungicides and lots of clearing up .

Trefor has been constantly examining the greens along with Dave and the corresponding actions taken mostly by a limited number from the team.

Today with 6 of the team members we were able, on both greens, to brush, mow and spray fungicide and Aquaritin . Moss was raked around the edges of the bottom green, ditches cleared, edging done and general tidy up. A great achievement !

We take this opportunity to remind all members that the team needs more support so do not hesitate to offer your help there is always something to do.

Just contact any of the team you know who they are don’t you !

Ian and Ellen have decided to concentrate on two local (small) charities.

Devizes PHAB group, already known to most of you, enjoy a congenial relationship with the club through some social bowling both outdoor and in. Click HERE to learn more about PHAB.

Canon’s House provide a safe, happy, vibrant respite children’s home for children and young people with learning disabilities and complex health and care needs. Click HERE to find out about Canon’s House.

Both these charities we know would benefit greatly from any extra funding and we hope you, our members, will get behind this fundraising effort wholeheartedly.

Our fundraising will start as soon as possible, and we look forward to having you on board.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Short Mat Success!

The Devizes Dragons 2023 team, comprising of Kelvin & Pam Nash, Chris & Dave Pretty, John Scoffield, Lynne Williams, Kevin Hannam, Nicky Mackay and Doug Hendry finished runners up in the Wiltshire Central League. The shield was presented at the Wiltshire Short Mat County and National Qualifiers in Chippenham on Sunday.

John, Pam and Kelvin played against the County’s best players and gave them all a run for their money!

Kelvin reached the quarterfinals, and was very narrowly beaten to a place in the semifinals!
