Winter Bowls
Winter Bowls start this Saturday, get your name in now!
Hello Bowlers!
Well no doubt after the great Presentation Night you are once again busting to get out on the green and lay down a few bowls in preparation for next season! This is an opportunity for bowlers to get some green time and help you step up to the next level for next season with further experience under your belt … and even maybe stop that belt expanding over Winter at the same time!
The Division 1 side requires 8 players (2 rinks of 4 bowlers). The Division 3 side requires 6 bowlers (2 rinks of 3 bowlers). There are only 6 games to be played before we … as usual … qualify for the Finals!
The first game is this coming Saturday 8th May so we do need you to put your hand up please. Ideally we will have a squad of players to choose from so if you think that you are happy to only play one or two games then thats fine by us!
Please let us know of your availability this week.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!
Roderic Morgan & Jono Bean
