Dear Members,

Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 29 July.

Firstly, huge congratulations to Theresa Blair who won a thrilling Ladies’ Championship Final last Friday against Chris Bentley. It was a tremendous match and a credit to both players. Well done, Theresa and commiserations, Chris.

The National Championships are being held at Ayr, Northfield this week. Although we do not have any representatives involved in these Championships this year, it is still a wonderful festival of bowls and well worth a visit to Ayr to see some of the best bowlers in Scotland in action.

Ronnie Clark will play his North & West Seniors’ Knockout Singles semi-final at home at 2.00pm on Monday 29 July against Blackhall B.C. All the best, Ronnie.

Unfortunately, our annual ‘Mixed’ Friendly against the Centurion B.C. scheduled for Thursday 1 August at 6.30pm has been cancelled. Apologies to those members who put their names on the list.

Our annual Invitation Pairs competition will be held on 4 August (start times to be announced later in the week). Currently, we have 18 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!!!

Finally, a wee heads-up for some upcoming events in August :
