A reminder for members
An important reminder for members.
Over the closed season we will be redecorating and deep cleaning the Male locker room.
Starting on the 31 of October
Can you please put all bowls, bowl bags, shoes and clothing in your locker. Please remove all unwanted items from the locker room or place them in the bin.
Please remove any boxes, bowl bags including snooker/pool cues from the top of the lockers. Any items not removed will be deemed unwanted and placed in the BIN!
We don’t want to have to throw anything out so if there is anything you think you’ve left behind or not in your locker then please come to the club prior to the 31st and remove the items or put safely in your locker.
Thank you for your help
The Management Committee.
Belters Day
Beautiful weather for belters Day. A bit breezy but that didn’t stop the bar staff dragging club members kicking and screaming onto the green to partner them to win the cup
Staff were screaming at the members “we thought you could play!” But alas the members skill levels were on clear display and they were clearly lying about how good they were.
Nonetheless, the games commenced, drink was consumed in copious amounts and tempers flared (joking).
In the final, Ross Hendry and Carrie Reynolds played Ryan Ironside and Gary Aitken. Unfortunately Ross and Carrie left it a little too late for their comeback so Ryan and Gary won the trophy 8-3.
Congratulations to Ryan and Gary on winning the trophy. Commiserations to Ross and Carrie, you fought well.
Lastly, well done to everyone involved for making it such a good day. Now the bar staff can get their backsides behind the bar again and get me a Magners please 😅.

PRICE INCREASE
I stated back in August at the last price increase that there would a review at the end of the bowling season. Based on further increases in our costs from the brewery, suppliers, etc where it was stated in the press the increases on alcohol I have no option but to further increase the prices on the bar.
All draught beer, lager and cider will increase by 20p
All bottle beers and ciders will increase by 20p
All spirits, liqueurs, wines and minerals will increase by 10p
These prices will be effective from Monday 17 October 2022.
FUNCTION HALL PRICE INCREASE
Due to the rising cost in energy and our costs we have no option but to increase the prices.
Main hall will now cost £100 for a party booking
Parties in the afternoon will cost £70
Funeral bookings will cost £50
Upstairs hall will now cost £70 for any type of party.
Funeral bookings will cost £50.
SKY TV
Despite several phone calls to Sky, which lasted nearly three hours, I have been unable to strike a deal with Sky to reduce our package to an affordable amount.
As I mentioned previously our 20% discount deal finished in September so our monthly bill for Sky is now £1446.00
With our costs rising again I can’t justify paying that amount of money each month when I’m trying to make savings to get us through this tough period.
So from Monday 8 November we will no longer have Sky TV.
All of these decisions on price increases and the removal of Sky TV have not been taken lightly and were discussed at the recent Committee meeting with agreement reached by all the Committee. I hope you all understand these steps that are being taken in order to get us through this testing period.
