After a long, profitable meeting in January, some key decisions were made for the year ahead. ‘Roll up’ times for the Outdoor Green will be from 12pm weekdays and from 10am on weekends, all to be booked in the Club diary. Club etiquette was also reviewed and a copy of this will appear in the 2024 Fixture Card and be posted on our website. The improvements to coaching will be in place by the start of the outdoor
season which starts on Saturday 13th April with the Opening Drive.

Our Short Mat competitions roll ever onwards and are much enjoyed (indoors of course). The Bonus Ball winners for December were Eve Millidge and Jim Dobson, with Jill Ridley and Mark Leonard winning the
following month.

Fixtures for 2024 are complete and the Opening Drive will be on Saturday 13th April with Fixture Cards forthcoming.

We would like to thank Chris Stonely for mending the leak in the Bowls Club kitchen – on Christmas Day – would you believe!   A big thank you also to Ron Colyer who carved an excellent large wooden knife to accompany the spoon & fork we already have.  These hang on the wall in the Clubhouse and are presented for our indoor short mat competitions.  Our Short Mat competitions roll ever-onwards and are much enjoyed.

The Bonus Ball winners for December were Eve Millidge & Jim Dobson and for January, Jill Ridley & Mark Leonard. 

For our ‘eco quest’ we are investigating solar panels so expect an update on this.

On a sad note, it is with regret that I report the death of Jack Sawyer (96) who passed away peacefully in his sleep on 22nd January at Leigh.  He, and his wife Sylvia, were very long serving and respected members of the Club.

Lastly but not least, in our ‘Eco Quest’ we are investigating solar panels so expect an update on this.
