Let’s go.

Jack & Bowl:
There is a great chance to stock up on your bowls items because Jack & Bowl will be coming to the club on Tuesday 1st December from 12 noon until 7 p.m. Bowls, shoes, clothing, bags and accessories plus expert advice will all be available.
BOARD STUFF:
Solar Panels:
We are delighted to report that we have secured a £30,000 award, almost half the cost, towards installing solar panels at the club which will save us money immediately and earn us money after three or four years. We hope to see you to talk further on this when we meet on Wednesday 18th November at 7p.m.
Rink Lights:
As a bid to save the club money, we are asking everyone to please not turn on the rink lights until 30 minutes before play begins, i.e. 9.30 in the morning for a 10 o’clock start etc.
Financial Director:
It is with great sadness that we have to report that Andy Williams, our Financial Director, is unable to continue in this role due to health issues. During his time in office he has done a brilliant job of looking after our finances.
This is an important and necessary post and we urgently need someone to take over from Andy. If you would like to support your club in this capacity, please let us know.
