It wasn’t only The Farnborough Airshow that got abandoned on Monday.
The bowls club was subjected to a torrent of rain. Unbelievably this game continued 30 minutes after the rain stopped.

Farnborough had a hotshot against Odiham and North Warnborough in Tuesday’s Aldershot and District Men’s League.  The rink was:

• Harrison Ash
• Chris Henderson
• Keith Dunstone
• Geoff Chadd.

Well done guys.

Farnborough Bowling Club is hosting the North Hants Womens Bowling Associations Champion of Champions Day on Saturday 18th June, the draw takes place at approx. 9.30 am and the matches will commence shortly afterwards.  Farnboroughs Diane Hill will be competing along with eleven other ladies who have won their Clubs Ladies Championship.   Well done Ladies, I am sure we will be witness to some superb bowling.  Spectators are very welcome, refreshments will be available to purchase.  Let’s hope the weather is kind to us.

What a day! Loads of people popped in to and from the local Donkey Derby.  We had laid on refreshments, a tombola, bric-a-brac and some fun bowls game- not forgetting water and biscuits for the many dogs. The bowling was a great success and some want to come back for more.  In all a very successful day.  A big thanks to all who helped make it happen.

A win for Farnborough in the National Men’s Two Fours last night. On a wet, cold and dank evening both rinks won against Hawley to secure a 40 – 24 shots result.  We play Liphook at home in the next round to be played by the 5th June.

Our Funding Application for the green improvements was submitted to Sports England on 8th January.  We now need to keep our fingers crossed that it gets approved.  2nd April – The application is now being reviewed. Let’s hope it is a positive one.

Update – Our funding application was unsuccessful but we are going ahead with Plan B which is to replace just the green.  We have already initiated this plan and have had a very successful meeting with Rushmoor Council.
