CBC – Events 17th May 2021

Dear members,

With thanks to our communication department (currently based in New Zealand!!) we intend whenever possible to reintroduce the weekly event sheet for your information.

Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 17 May.

Although there are fewer events happening than in a ‘normal’ season, at least we have some internal and external competitive bowling to look forward to this year. We hope you all enjoy your bowling in 2021.

Our North & West Seniors begin their League campaigns with a match against each other on Tuesday afternoon. We are sure there will be a healthy rivalry involved in the game!! Enjoy, guys.

The Edinburgh Bowling Association Gents’ League matches begin on Wednesday 19 May with our ‘first’ team away to Juniper Green B.C. and our ‘second’ team taking on Coltbridge B.C. at home. All the best, gents.

The ‘usual’ Hat Night will be held at 6.30pm on Monday evening and this will be supplemented by two Hat Days on Wednesday and Friday (both starting at 1.30pm). These are open to all members. Hopefully, at least one of the sessions will appeal.
