Our Annual Mixed Triples Gala – Bank Holiday Monday 30th August

We are pleased to announce that our Annual Mixed Triples Gala will be held this year on Bank Holiday Monday August 30th.  We have been forced to make some changes to this year catering arrangements, but don’t think that this should diminish the appeal of our Gala!

This event has proved very popular in recent years and, as entries are on a first come, first served basis, we encourage you to get your entries in as quickly as possible.  A printable form can be downloaded from the foot of our Annual Gala page; this should then be completed and returned to the Gala Organiser, Mrs Lesley Drake, at the address given on the form.

We look forward to receiving your entries and being able to have our usual fun filled and friendly competitive day.

New Season – IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

We are delighted to say the new season is up and running! We look forward to seeing you all over the next few weeks particularly if you were unable to attend last year. Needless to say we have guidelines and rules to adhere to as we come out of lockdown which our club has been putting in place over the winter months. Please help us to help you so we can all stay safe and enjoy a great season of bowls.

The season is mainly divided into two halves following the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown. The first half is from April 24^th to 21^st June when rules regarding playing and socialising are in place. The second half is from June 21^st to September 31^st when all rules are expected to be lifted and things are ‘back to normal’ if things go well with the pandemic measures.    

We will keep you posted of all developments via all our social media outlets so please keep checking our Facebook and website pages for our latest information in this fluid period.
