Thursday League

The Fish & Chip League starts this week on Thursday 4th June at 18:00.

Anyone wanting Fish & Chips should arrive by 17:45 (with cash!) to order them.

Some who aren't playing this week will be having a roll-up on one of the free rinks - all welcome to join in.

Coaching Sessions

Terry’s weekly Monday coaching sessions start today, 1st June, at 13:00.

All members are welcome to attend - please bring along any potential new members.

There will also be free rinks for those simply wanting a roll-up.

Competition Draw

The competition draw will take place at the clubhouse on Sunday during preparation for the BBQ. It will be sent round to relevant bowlers on Monday 25 by email and posted in both changing rooms on the same evening. Handicaps are already posted in both changing rooms.

A reminder that results of "Open" competitions will need to be posted on the draws in both changing rooms.

Open Day

Our 2026 Open Day is coming up shortly - and your club needs YOU!

Firstly - we need you to share that this is happening to all your local friends and relatives so we get a good crowd along.

Secondly - we need your help on the day - setting up, coaching, taking contact details, serving hot drinks or behind the bar, clearing up. Please let Tina know how and when you can help on the day.

As some of you know, we have purchased a gas BBQ. It will have its first outing after Open Day when we will hold a Club BBQ.

Club Afternoon

We have a "Club Afternoon" planned for Monday 4th May from 14:30 - a chance to play some fun bowls using the target mat, yard stick etc.

A couple of rinks should still be available for a normal roll up if you prefer.

Bowling & Social Members welcome - please feel free to invite friends and family along (Please ask them to wear flat soled shoes, we can provide bowls)

Dress code - colourful and comfortable.

Please let Audrey know by Saturday 2nd May if you plan to come along and how many would like to bowl so we can plan!

The bar will be open during and afterwards!

Green Opening

The green will be open to members for roll-ups from Monday 13th April

Dress Code

General requirement for inter-club friendly, league and cup matches is for Club shirts and black bottoms. Organised intra-club competitions can be white shirts & black bottoms but Finals are to be played in whites. There is no specific dress code for informal intra-club leagues, club afternoons, roll-ups or open days

Rinks Diary

A hard-copy diary will be placed in the Clubhouse, marked to show the number of rinks required for Club fixtures and other organised matches plus times when the green is not available due to necessary maintenance work. To book a rink for roll-ups or competition matches, please enter details into the diary.

Post-Match Refreshments

The practice of providing light refreshments after Club Friendlies will continue in 2026. A match fee of £5 is payable to cover costs for you and your opposite number and must be paid whether or not you are staying to eat. Additional visitors will be catered for where possible at a cost of £3 - please request in advance.

For league games and external competitions self-catering snacks/nibbles may be organised by and at the discretion of respective Captains.
