Events week 14 – 24th July
Dear Members,
Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 24 July.
The National Championships are being held at Ayr, Northfield this week.
As we are sure you are aware, we have 3 representatives competing in these Championships this week. This is a great honour for the Club and for the players involved.
Faye Stevens, playing in the Senior Ladies’ Singles, has her first round game today (Sunday 23 July) at 5.00pm and, hopefully, will have potentially two games on Monday and, if successful, two further games on Tuesday. All the best, Faye.
Chris Bentley will compete in the Ladies’ Singles and has her first round game on Tuesday 25 July at 11.30am against Gilmerton B.C. If successful, Chris will play one further game each day through to the Final on Saturday afternoon. Good luck, Chris.
Stuart Campbell, our representative in the Gents’ Singles, will also have his first round match at 11.30am on Tuesday 25 July against Sanquhar B.C. If he wins that game, then Stuart will also potentially have a further match each day until the Final on Saturday 29 July. Stick in, Stuart.
We have our annual ‘Mixed’ Friendly against the Centurion B.C. on Thursday 27 July at 6.30pm on the green. We are sure everyone involved will have a great evening.
Please note that the green will be closed all day on Friday 28 July for fertilisation.
