CLUB NEWS

President's Day 6 July 2024

Update  17 April 2025 - (John Prattley)​​​

​

​Greg & Gail have kindly volunteered to take over the running of the Monday competition, now renamed The John Bentley Bowls Drive, which is open to all members.

The rules can be found via the drop down list on the Comps tab.

 

The friendly season got underway today with an away trip to Wigston.  Many thanks to our hosts who provided a lovely welcome on a warm afternoon.  Wigston were worthy winners by 68 shots to 42 but it was a great afternoon of bowls.

 

Just to update on the pre-season jobs, the painting of the lane markers has been completed and the new flagpole looks great.  Thanks to all who were able to assist with these jobs.  

 

A reminder that club sessions take place on Monday & Wednesday afternoons (2-5).

All fixtures (and results) can be viewed via our Leagues & Fixtures tab.
