From David Hale

Today, Saturday, we take on friends from Masonians starting at 2:00 pm  An afternoon of bowls and fun ahead .

Tomorrow we face Bounds Green in the Middlesex League starting at 11:00 . Two mixed rinks at home and two away  supporters and spectators welcome at both venues

 

 

Thanks to Kevin K, please go to the Calendar page and you can see the forthcoming fixtures, together with the results from when the season started.

Indoor Carpet Replacement

After 20 years, the indoor carpet has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced this year, probably in early September (after the wall repairs have been completed).

The cost of this, including remedial work to level the floor in several areas and new underlay, will be in the region of £35,000 plus VAT. While this cost will be amortised over 20 years or so (the expected life of the carpet), we do need to increase our income to pay for it; therefore the board has decided to increase the indoor rink fee, as this is directly linked to use of the indoor green.

The increase will be from £3.50 per 2 hour session to £4, effective 1 March 2025. 1 hour sessions will increase pro-rata to £2.

Good luck to everyone playing today.

As I can’t be there, please could someone or a group of you send me some write ups and photos so I can post on the website.

WhatsApp is good for photos or emails to my gmail account.

Thanks

Congratulations to Peter J & Paul A who beat Competition Organiser Peter C & Brian Cr this afternoon in the Club Men’s Pairs.

Updated Finals Schedule below with (hopefully now) the correct players in the Mixed Drawn Pairs on Saturday morning!

As some of you know, Jane had a fall recently.  Several members have been asking after her and she wanted to say thank you for your support and good wishes.  She is recovering, albeit a bit slower than she would like, but is getting there.  She is hoping to get down on Finals Day to watch a couple of the games.
