Greens Open 2.00pm on Saturday 11th April

Although the greens don’t open until 2.00pm, the use of Club House will be available from 1.00pm.  This will give members the chance to socialise and reacquaint with members they may not have seen over the winter period.

It is customary for the President and the two Captains to deliver the first bowls and declare the greens open!  Everyone can then have a go and you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll get back into the swing of outdoor bowling!

You do not need to book a rink for Saturday, but you will need to book for any future roll ups!

Refresher Coaching sessions will be held on:

Monday 13th April 2.00pm – 3.00pm

Wednesday 15th April 6.00pm – 7.00pm

Friday 17th April 6.00pm – 7.00pm

Open Day

Saturday 25th April 10.00am – 2.00pm

If you have a family member, friend or neighbour who would like to have a go, please bring them along for a taster session.

Happy Bowling

Thank you to all involved, it was a great weekend for the club. A brilliant atmosphere, plenty of encouragement (and a bit of friendly banter), some excellent bowling, and we made money for the club… thanks to Sheila & Ricky for running the bar, and raised a good amount for the captain’s charity… thanks to Sue for the catering. Special thanks to Rob for organising the whole event – you did an amazing job!
