GREEN BOOKINGS
Please note that the green will be unavailable to members on the following dates as it has been booked to host prestigious fixtures as a neutral venue :-
Sunday 22nd May  – Southport v. Dudley in the team’s inaugural season in the National Crown Green Bowling Federation, 2.00pm start. The green will be closed all day for this event but markers, measurers, general helpers and spectators will be most welcome for what should be an excellent afternoon of bowling.
Saturday 30th July  –  Southport v. Southport Cubs in the Lancashire Ladies’ Inter-Town League. Again, spectators will be welcome for what should be an exciting ‘derby’ fixture, starting at 10.00am.
It was good to see so many members taking advantage of the good weather today when the green was open for the first time this season.

The club hopes you all take advantage of using the green which is in excellent condition.

Regards

George Hitchmough
