This year the competitions are OPEN FOR ALL – so Gents, Ladies, Seniors and Juniors can all take part.

Presidents Cup – singles.

Nominated Pairs – you pick your own pair.

Closing date for entries the singles, pairs and triples will be on the sheets.

Entry sheets will also be on the noticeboard for the U25’s and the Junior Competitions.

It is hoped that the Competitions will start mid May.

We have many more planned as the season progresses.

13 sleeps to go until the bowling resumes.

Evening all

The Committee met today to discuss opening for bowls, the reopening of the bar, for outside drinking and an official opening day.

I can confirm that on Saturday 17th April at 10:00 we will be open for bowling. There are a couple of issues with some parts of the greens so a couple of rinks will remain closed. We are not operating the booking system this time but you have to sign in for the track and trace. At this time you can play in a maximum of pairs.

On Monday 26th April the bar will be open from 15:00 with last orders at 21:00 for outside drinking with everyone out by 21:30. On the weekends the bar will be open earlier and will confirm the times nearer the date.

You will all receive a letter soon informing you of the Committee for the coming year as part of the AGM. The plan is to announce our new President and Committee on Saturday 1st May which will also be our official opening day, starting at 13:00.

I hope you are all looking forward to getting back to the Club but if you have any questions then please contact any Committee member to discuss.

Club Update

With the First Minister’s ‘out of lockdown’ statement on Tuesday it looks like we will be closed until late April at the earliest.
Hopefully we will be able to bowl soon but will await for instructions and guidance from the relevant authorities and will update you all on developments.

AGM – we aim to hold it as soon as it is possible to do so. Due to social distancing we may have to hold the AGM outside but will let you all know.

Club Fees – Fees will remain the same amount as last year. Can we ask for all fees to be paid by 30th June 2021.

There are a few options to pay fees:
Should you need the bank details then please contact either Davy Connelly (mob-07837838510) or John Green (mob-07984444400).
Cash or cheque can be dropped off through the Club letterbox or cheque posted to the Club.
I can arrange a meet or a visit to your home where I can pick up cash or cheque. A receipt will be given for your fees. If you prefer this option then let me know.

New Committee Members – we are looking for new additions to the Committee so if anyone is interested in joining the Committee then please contact Davy Connelly to discuss.

The Committee will be meeting after the next update from the First Minister so will update you with more information then but if you have questions then let me know.
So take care everyone and hope to see you all soon.
