Hi All
There is now no need to mess about comparing old shirts with new we have obtained a true size guide from the proposed distributers of our new shirts.
All you need to do now is measure your existing shirt to obtain the chest size and compare it with this chart then order the size that is right for you.
This chart is on line via the link below as is the order form under sign up sheets in the members area and both are in a folder in the hall either on the bar or table.
Choose either method to register your requirements

Message from our President.
With the continued worries about the Covid situation, particularly the new Omicron variant, it is very difficult to forecast exactly what the situation will be when the time comes to start the 2022 season. I know that all the committees will be working hard to ensure that if we are able to bowl then the club will be ready to welcome you onto the green. Duncan Poole, our new fixtures secretary, has prepared a full bowling season with more teams than ever before and we will see the return of the handbook with all the usual details available for every playing member. The ladies will see the return of the Nor West League with Devizes entering a fourth team, the Wiltshire League that came into fruition last year will stay and we have two teams involved and there is the Seidel League as well. The men will also have the usual full programme of Four Rink, Three Rink, Mid Wilts Triples and Tea and Biscuits. As to county competitions it is remarkable to see over 30 entries from the ladies and an increase in the number of men entering as well. Hopefully we will see the same support for the club competitions that will be organised this year by our new competitions’ coordinator Marie Greenwood. I hope everyone is looking forward to getting involved again and pray for some decent weather to support us.
In the meantime, stay safe and I look forward to meeting you all in the coming weeks.

As you will all have hopefully seen in the minutes of the December Bowls Committee meeting (available on line for you to see) the committee accepted the job of furthering the move to new club shirts for the 2022 season from the design team of Bev Lilley and Gerald Webb,
The arrangements for how we will progress the task are as follows:-
Ladies Sizes: 12 = 40″, 14 = 42″, 16 = 44″ and 18 = 46″.
Men’s Sizes: Small = 40-42″, Medium = 42-44″ Large = 44-46″, XL = 16-48″
Remember the ladies shirts are more styled than the men’s but the men’s are longer in length
Hope you like it.

The Management Team recommend the following:-
For your own safety and that of others – due to the current situation with reference to the high number of Covid cases in our area, we recommend that all members wear face masks (with the exception when seated) when attending indoor functions at the Club.
The Wiltshire County Council Guidelines at present are:- Please continue wearing face masks in enclosed indoor spaces wash and sanatize your hands regularly.
Keep safe
As the end of the 2021 season has been reached we should congratulate both committees on surviving what has been a horrendous two years. However, hopefully, we can look forward to a full season next year.
During 2021 the use of the website has improved a little but there is still much we can do with your help. Although the number of reports from team leaders has been a little better than last year there is still room for a vast improvement.
The home made rink booking system worked very well last year after a few teething problems, but, there were some anomalies caused by erroneous bookings which will be eroded next year as we introduce a professional rink booking package for you to use.
During the next few months we will also be looking at rejuvenation the website and for those who are interesting in this type of function if you visit the website for Highworth or Calne bowls clubs you will see the type of format we aiming for.
I would like to ask ALL team leaders to communicate results and submit reports throughout the season or if they cannot do this themselves please nominate a team member who is willing to do so.
Remember its your site! and it can only be a good as the information provided.
