🟢 Cricket Weekend

There is an entry in the fixtures booklet that shows 4 & 5 July as 'Cricket Weekend'. This is an error, those dates relate to 2025. This year the Festival of Cricket event is on Sunday 12 July when the Hainault Recreation ground will be very busy. Members may want to avoid the recreation ground on this day.

🟢 Green Improvements

Steve O’Brien has worked hard on Rinks 6 & 7 today (the hottest day of the year!). Please remember we should be bowling across this week. Use one of these Rinks for any roll ups etc. Any feedback on how you find these rinks would be appreciated.

🟢 All male bowlers

We have some important matches coming up i need all of you to go to the CLUB and enter your names on the team sheets to show you are available for selection otherwise matches will have to be cancelled. 

Alan Bayliss Men's Captain. 25 May

🟢 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.

Club Secretary - 25 May 2026
