Christmas 2012

As part of this year’s Christmas celebration will be a performance by Bishop’s Bells hand bell ringing team from Bishop’s Waltham.

We have had the privilege of hosting this very entertaining team before and so by popular demand, and with a great deal of notice, we have managed to book them again.

Make a note in your diaries for 15th December.

We are nearly ready for the 2012 season.  The green is looking the best it has for a while: thanks to all those that helped to keep it clear during the winter. The green will be open for roll ups from 15th April; the first Monday Club will be on the 16th.

The dying hedge has been removed and replaced with a very attractive timber fence (I will need to find some new aiming points as the bunches of dead hedge I used to use have gone)

Good luck to everyone who will be playing in the various National, County or District Competitions.

The league and friendly fixtures are nearly completed, it looks as if we will have a busy season with the Olympics and Farnborough Air Show happening as well. We are hosting the Essex Bowlers tour in May and looking forward to providing them with good facilities.

The website has been updated and an additional forum and members’ area created.

Good luck to all our members in their bowling.

The first national ‘Bring a Friend’ event aimed primarily at outdoor bowls clubs will be held from Saturday 28th April to Monday 7th May 2012. More information will be circulated in due course but please make a note in your club’s diary as Bowls England is keen for as many of its affiliated clubs to organise an event during this period as part of the national campaign in conjunction with the Bowls Development Alliance to increase participation in our sport among all age groups.
