CBC – Events Week 20

Dear Members,

Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 2 September.

Firstly, we have a couple of congratulations to pass on :

1. To Faye Stevens who won the Ladies’ President’s competition on Thursday afternoon. Well done, Faye.

2. To the Gents’ EBL Knockout Fours (Willie Stoddart, Dougie Wilson, David Sutherland and David McNiven) who beat Carrickknowe B.C. in the semi-final of their competition on Thursday evening and will now play Currie B.C. in the Final on Saturday 7 September at 2.00pm at Whitehouse & Grange. Well done, guys, and all the best in the Final. Please try to get along to Whitehouse to support the team if you can.

The Ladies’ Page Two-Bowl competition will be held on Monday 2 September at 1.30pm. We are sure that all ladies involved will have a great afternoon.

The Ladies’ Friendly against Blackhall B.C. will take place away on Tuesday 3 September and as a consequence there will be no ‘formal’ Hat Day but members can come along for a ‘bounce’ game if they wish. In addition, please note that the Ladies’ Clark Fours has been re-arranged for Tuesday 10 September and there will be no Hat Day that afternoon.

Our RMBA team was successful in their Knockout match against Mayfield B.C. last Thursday and now take on either Hillside or Merchiston B.C. away in the semi-final on Thursday 5 September at 1.30pm. All the best, boys.

This year’s Club Pairs Final involving Faye Stevens and Gordon Birnie against Mohindra Dhall and Bill Cumming will take place at 2.00pm (ish!) on Saturday 7 September. All the best, guys.

This year’s ‘Rugbowl’ match involving players from Corstorphine Bowling Club and Corstorphine Rugby Club will be held at 12.30pm on Sunday 8 September. We are sure that everyone involved will have a great day. Please note that the dress code for the day will be ‘smart-casual’ (no jeans!!).

Finally, a reminder of the President’s Select vs Past Presidents/Captains match which will take place at 2.00pm on Saturday 14 September. Please add your name to the list on the ‘Mixed’ Notice-board if you can participate in this game.

CBC News – April 2018

Dear Member: Welcome to the latest edition of the CBC News.

Opening Day delayed – due the continued terrible weather, Opening Day has been put back one week to the 21st April. Be there around 1:30pm for a 2pm start, hopefully. The Green is about 3-4 weeks behind where it should be for this time of year with virtually no growth. The Cabaret will still be held on the 14th.

This year’s Coffee morning is tomorrow Saturday, 7th April from 10:00 to 12:00. A warm welcome is extended to all Members. Come along and enjoy some delicious home baking. Raffle prizes and baking contributions will be most welcome.

CBC News – February and March

Dear Member: Welcome to the latest edition of the CBC News.

Not a great deal of news to report on this month, so I have decided to combine February & March.

The main event of the last two months was the Annual General meeting on 7th February. Although some 80

members attended the meeting, I feel that it is important to communicate the main items to the other 100

members. After all, everyone should be interested in what is happening in the Club.
