Bad News!!
For the second consecutive year we were thwarted and the following message
was delivered to all members:
The Greens were due to open on Saturday 13th April 2024 but sadly, due to
the unusually persistent rain over the past months, they are not yet fit for play.
The Club will open as usual but there will be no play at all for at least one further week!
All matches have been cancelled up to Saturday 20th April, with further inspections to be
undertaken at regular intervals, so that bowling can commence as soon as the risk of
damage to the greens is deemed to be over.
However, the first Club morning on Monday 15th April went ahead as a social event at which
there was tea and coffee on offer and the bar was available from 11am.
This was a good chance to meet up again and to enter your availability for the
upcoming May fixtures (the sheets were all in the books).
Fingers crossed for better news soon.

Sunday 28th April:
Our (first) Open Day!!
These events are only successful with the support of the members and a big thank you
goes to everyone that turned up and helped out on our first recruitment event of the season.
Despite the rather gloomy forecast and overnight rain, the day was actually
ok weatherwise (dry) and just a bit chilly.
We had a reasonable number of both men and women turn up, most of whom
look like they will make good bowlers, and we hope to see them again at our
Club mornings and/or the Friday Night Socials.
