Hi all, just thought I would do an update since the Club opened on Saturday.

A big thank you to all those who helped out Saturday, social as well as playing Members helped out and by the end of the session, the green, the surrounding areas and the Club house was looking great.

The opening drive on Sunday afternoon was well attended, the weather was just right and approx. 28 of us turned up to bowl, we also had a few spectators who enjoyed the afternoon sunshine.  The afternoon kicked off with two “spiders”, one for the ladies and one for the men. Pauline Lane won the ladies and Tony Green won the mens, well done and hope you both enjoy your Easter egg.  The proceeds will be donated to the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, which is very poignant at this time and your contributions are much appreciated.

We had an excellent turn out for Monday Club, 31 people turned up, some came from other local Clubs and the U3A, again the weather was great and everyone said how they enjoyed the afternoon, there was a lot of laughter and joking going on off and on the bowls green.  Thank you to all for your support, it certainly makes it worth while, not only is it a fun afternoon it brings money into the Club.  If anyone wants to invite bowlers from other Clubs, please do so, Monday Club is open to non-members and all it will cost them is £3.10p for a fab afternoon.

Monday Club will be running on Easter Monday afternoon, let’s hope the weather stays fine.

The next bowling event is the Fish and Chip drive on the 26th April, unfortunately Anne Hellier is unwell so  I have put a sheet up so that people can start putting their names down, there are quite a few names on the sheet already and I will let us know the cost in due course.

Happy Easter and bowling of course.
