Wednesday EBA Results

WEDNESDAY EBA RESULTS
First 16 were away to Northern BC and were hoping for a convincing win but it was not to be. It was still a win for the First 16 but it was only a 5-4 win. The total shots was 69-61. The win keeps the First 16 in 2nd place with two games to go.
Second 16 were at home to league leaders Corstorphine BC and the Second 16 put up a fine performance to win 5-4. The total shots was 72-65. The win moves the 2nd 16 to 5th place. With 2 games to go a few points are still required to avoid the potential drop but it’s in our own hands.
Well done to both teams on their wins.

SBC A v SBC B friendly

Well the sun didn’t shine for the game tonight where we had both West Edinburgh teams playing a friendly.

Both teams win 2 rinks each but on aggregate it was a 2 shot win for Team A over Team B

Well done to everyone who took part and I’ll admit it was freezing for most of the game.

Important announcement

The ‘cost of living’ crisis is now starting to have an impact on the Club.

Our suppliers costs have risen, our 20% discount with Sky has finished so our monthly bill will increase by at least £250. Gas and Water are up and our electricity monthly bill has just risen from £1000 a month to £3000 a month.

As treasurer I have a duty and with these increases on our monthly expenditure I have decided, with Committee approval, that from Monday 15 August 2022 there will be a 20p increase on ALL alcohol drinks. The members specials will also have to stop. A further review of the prices will be carried out at the end of the bowling season. The increase still leaves the Club cheaper than the surrounding establishments.

It is to be expected that our footfall will fall once the bowling season finishes but our outgoing costs will remain the same or may increase further so I have to make sure that I am acting in the best interests of the Club.
