CAPTAIN’S CHARITY DAY 2024

What a beautiful day on which to hold this years Captains Charity Day. Well done Lynn and Kelvin for dreaming up such an interesting fun game, and by the way, it’s not too late to support Wiltshire Sight… just click HERE

There were some excellent exhibitions of skill, and there has to be winners of course, this year it was the participants who did the Captains and the Club proud but one individual was the overall winner, so arise Sir Robin !

What an amazing collection of raffle prizes too ! All donated by our club members. A big thank you to everyone who contributed.

As usual there were fines abounding for some naughty boys and girls, not naming names but one member stood out ! 

This years charity Wiltshire Sight is such a worthy cause which the members we were pleased to support with this day.

Club Competitions – Play By Date Extensions

With August quickly approaching we have less than a month to go until the club finals.
 
I have decided to extend the Quarter Final deadline from Saturday 26th July to Wednesday 7th August and the Semi final (and Round Robin) deadline from Friday 23rd August to Wednesday 28th August. This is to allow a bit more time to get the games in but the deadlines will have to adhered to, giving me enough time to plan the finals weekend.
 
As a reminder, if you are on top of the draw it is your responsibility to arrange the game and find the marker if necessary. There isn’t a possibility of any more extensions from these deadlines so please try to organise the games as soon as possible.
 
 
Thank you.
 
Happy Bowling!

Captains Charity Wiltshire Sight

James Thompson aged 5, thought it would be fun to have a lemonade stand and sell his lemonade (like he had seen on a kids’ TV programme).

James and his Dad made their own lemonade a few weeks earlier, and James really enjoyed the process.

Between Mum, Dad, and James, they came up with the idea of using the idea to raise money for the Devizes Bowls Club Captains Charity (Wiltshire Sight) .

The Mixed Pairs Competition Event was the perfect opportunity to do this. James and his mum spent Saturday afternoon making lemonade to sell on Sunday.

With the sun shining, they raised £21 that has gone to Wiltshire Sight.

Well done James !
