The committee would like to thank all members who donated to our “Sponsor a Spike” appeal.

The equipment will be used to maintain the green to the high standards you have come to expect.

Thank you all

CLUB COMPETITION NEWS

CHAIRMAN’S SHIELD
Congratulations to Brian Sutton and Dave White who won the Chairman’s Shield on Saturday, coming back from 20-15 down to win the final 21-20 against Mike Milne and Alex Rimmer. Brian and Dave had previously looked in control of the final as they led 15-11 but 9 chalks in three ends put Mike and Alex on the brink of victory. However, Brian found a brilliant bowl when lying game down and from 16-20, Brian and Dave scored the five chalks needed over four ends to take the title. Well done to Dave on claiming his first Hesketh Arms competition win.

SPONSOR A SPIKE

“SPONSOR A SPIKE”

The club need to purchase a Sorrel roller for our lawnmower.

The club would normally have a fund raising night to support this but due to the current CV19 restrictions we will be unable to hold a fund raiser such as a race night and it is unlikely that we will be able to hold a physical awards evening. You the members, have always been very supportive of these events and we have always been successful in raising funds for major purchases or projects.

We are therefore asking you to support us in a slightly different way by “SPONSORING A SPIKE”

Due to the fact we are getting very dry weather early on in the season, the green is suffering from soil compaction and a crust forming on the surface preventing any water to penetrate the surface of the soil. It is recommended green care to use a sorrel roller, which is a spiked roller which aerates the green and allows moisture and fertilizers to reach the root system and allows the area to be top dressed and seeded.

The cost of this piece of equipment is over £1176.00

We would ask you to support us and “SPONSOR A SPIKE” donations of any amount would be welcomed the amount per spike is your choice.

You can donate by Bank Transfer to HABC Lloyds Bank Account 01007849 Sort Code 30-97-88 or by a Cash donation in a sealed envelope to any committee member. We will not be publishing any lists of donations in order to respect members’ privacy.

We hope you can support the “SPONSOR A SPIKE” request.
