🟢 Marathon run for Blind veterans charity

A massive thank you from Rob Dunn for all the generous donations received today from the members of the club. Rob will be running in support of Blind Veterans UK and although he has undergone many years of leg operations himself, he is determined to complete the course. Members support means a great deal.

🟢 Nominations for roles next season

I will be putting up the Nominations List for next Season on the notice board tomorrow. If I may remind you, hardly anyone put their names forward last season ready for this season. If these roles are not filled, then how can we move forward as a Club. If you’re unsure about a role, speak to the person currently doing that job, they will give you a good insight into what’s required.

🟢 Care of the Green

Roll ups, Triples & new players should only be playing on rinks 1, 2, 6 & 7.  Rink 4 can be used only if there are too many teams. Rinks 3,4 & 5 are used for Match Games only.

Each week you should be playing in the correct direction. Please refer to the book inside the Club, which shows what rinks you can use and which way you MUST bowl.

This will keep our Green in good condition and make Steve O'Brien very happy as he continues to maintain the green to his usual high standards.

🟢 Volunteers needed

We are looking for volunteers to open our Club on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30 to 2:30. If we get enough volunteers, I estimate that you will only be required to open up one day, every two weeks. Please let me know if you are available.
