Events Week 15 – 28th July
Dear Members,
Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 28 July.
Firstly, huge congratulations to Chris Bentley who won the Ladies’ Championship Final last Friday against Evelyn Lowe. It was a good match and a credit to both players. Well done, Chris and commiserations, Evelyn.
Please note that the green will be closed all day on Thursday 31 July for fertilisation.
The National Championships are being held at Ayr, Northfield this week. Stuart Campbell will be representing the Club in the Gents’ Singles this year and his first match will be at 11.30am on Thursday 31 July against an opponent from Thornhill B.C. If he is successful in this game, then Stuart will have potentially two further matches on Friday at 9.30am and 3.30pm. And, if successful in these, will be involved in the semi-final on Saturday at 9.00am and (hopefully) the final on Saturday afternoon (time TBC). All the very best, Stuart. Please try to get to Ayr to support Stuart if you can.
Our annual Invitation Pairs competition will be held on 3 August (start times to be announced later in the week). Currently, we have 22 pairs on the list to compete. There is room for 2 more pairs to be added before we carry out the draw on Thursday. First come, first served!!!
