The sighthill cup has started and here are all the competitors posing before the tears start to roll.
Sas taking the knee for underprivileged people everywhere including hippopotamuses everywhere who for obvious reasons just can’t.
Good luck to everyone today and obviously may the best team win (Dodger 🤞)
Congratulations to Hilda Melrose and David Ferguson on winning the Forsyth pairs.
A downpour of rain stopped play midway but only for about 20 minutes or so and nobody let it dampen (sorry) their spirits on the day.
Well done to everyone who participated to make it another great competition this year.
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.
A huge congratulations to the Sighthill 2nd 16 who won the Edinburgh bowling association’s 2nd 16’s 2nd Division League title.
A very tight game through most of the match but the lads pulled through at the end to win 7-2 to claim the league title on their own merit and not depending on other results.
Everybody in the team are over the moon and currently sitting beside me getting rather drunk.
‘Mon the ‘Hill!
Evening everyone,
Both teams played brilliantly tonight. First 16 and second 16 won 7-2.
Sighthill second 16 won to keep the top position while the second 16 won to keep themselves within touching distance of 1st place.
A good drink after the games back at Sighthill Bowling Club and exchanging our takes of the games had us all leaving the club in good fettle.
Well played both teams and keep the fight going.
