Hello everyone,

I have taken the liberty of subscribing every member to the ‘Club News’ section of subscriptions.

This means that if there is a post that is related to all members then every member will receive an email to let them know that there is a new post on the website that is relevant to them.

Members can also ‘subscribe’ to posts that are related to Gents, Ladies, Juniors sections etc if they choose to from the subscribe link at the top of the website.

Although I have subscribed everyone to the Club News list so they don’t miss any relevant club related information, they can still choose to unsubscribe from these emails using the same subscribe section on the top menu. I highly recommend that you don’t unsubscribe so you don’t miss out on any important information that the club needs to make you aware of.

This will help save some members from receiving 2,3,4 or 5 identical emails as they are subscribed to 2,3,4 or 5 categories of the website.

Feel free to ask me (Robbie) any questions regarding this if it’s not as clear as I hope it is. 🙂

Thanks all.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

This morning the Club has been cleaned using fogging/sanitising treatment. The work was carried out by Edinburgh Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning to ensure our premises are safe from the spread of Covid.

The Club can REOPEN from 14:00 TODAY.

I would like to thank the Committee for taking this prompt action to ensure the safety of our members, staff and visitors.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Club will be CLOSED until further notice due to a positive Covid test for one of the bar staff who were working on Saturday.

The Club will go through a deep clean before we can open again.

This also means NO BOWLING either.

Further updates will be announced in due course.

Hello all,

There is now an additional menu item on the website. You will now see an ‘Events’ section on the main (top) menu with two sub menus called ‘Bowling’ and ‘Members’.

The Bowling section will display a calendar with all bowls events pertaining to the bowling club. These include internal competitions, league competitions and any other bowls games that are relevant to Sighthill Bowling Club. (at least the ones that I am told about 😉

The Members section will display a calendar which will show any members only nights in the hall etc. These will include any member entertainment nights (80’s night, cabaret, Xmas party, etc).
It is currently empty due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions but hopefully it will be populated with events soon when we are back to a bit more normality
These are only viewable to website members, not anybody that is not registered on the website. Also the calendars do not and will not show any privately booked events like birthday parties, anniversaries, funeral bookings, etc.

I’m trying to make the website as informative and as useful to all members as I can. If you have any ideas or suggestions for content on the website then please see me, Robbie, at the club or drop me an email to help@sighthillbc.co.uk and i’ll check with the committee for approval.

That’s it.

Have a good day
Admin

Morning all

Opening day on Saturday went very well. There was a great turn out for the announcement of John House as President and Dougie McKay as Vice President.

The sun was out for a while and many took part in the bowling. Was great to see so many faces back at the Club.

As the evening progressed we dropped our guard a little regarding the current restrictions that are in place so can I remind everyone that even though the bar is open it is for OUTSIDE drinking only.

Please remember it is mandatory to wear your face mask whilst inside the Club unless medically exempt.

It is only two weeks until the 17th May and inside drinking can then take place so let’s not risk any sanctions or fines to the Club by sticking to the current rules in place.
