Chairman’s Report August
As the bowling season enters August and the nights draw in there is still a lot of bowls to be played. For all our teams it is getting towards the business end of the season with so much that still can be won and lost in the coming weeks. I have always enjoyed bowling in August and September and I am looking forward to the last two months of the season.
There has been a lot going on in July and early August with the highlight being the Club’s President’s Day, hosted by Bill Nowell. Congratulations to Mike Dunlop on winning the main competition, defeating Joe Parker in the final. I would like to pass on my thanks to Irene Nowell, Pat Jones and Betty Plant for their hard work in organising refreshments, a raffle and a whisky roll. On the day, £136.00 was raised towards Club funds. The most recent event was The Chairman’s Shield pairs competition and this was won by Dave Bedford and Mike Milne.
We have asked for all members that are interested in playing for a second men’s team in the Parks League and a new afternoon Ladies team to come forward. Some of you have but those of you that are considering joining one these teams now is the time to make yourselves known.
The Round Robin on Tuesday mornings run by Jim and his helpers has become a real feature of the club. It is pleasing to hear that this has given some people their introduction to bowls and it has gone on to generate a number of new members. I would like to pass on my gratitude to Jim and everyone else that supports this event.
Please keep your eyes open for a number of forthcoming events. These can be found on the website, Facebook and emails sent by our Secretary. If you prefer please see me or phone me on 07761733024.
Thanks
Chris Harding
