To Follow
Wednesday 7th May (5.30pm to 7.00pm)
6 Weeks of New Bowler Guidance & Tuition Commences
Hopefully from the Open Day we will get some people who want to take up bowling. Therefore, 4 days later we will start to offer some tuition and guidance to these potential new members by running 6 * weekly 90 minute sessions on Wednesday evenings starting on 7th May for which we have currently block-booked 3 rinks for each Wednesday night in May and early June. Again this is an area we will need help from you as WBC members to be on hand to support this tuition and guidance - whether directly helping our new bowlers or just 'marking' at the head. Please just come along on 7th May or speak to a committee member if you want any further info .
Friday 9th May (6.00pm - 8.00pm)
Start of Friday Club Bowling Night
A poster for this has just gone up in the clubhouse (see attached thimbnail.png file attached) where we are encouraging all club members, and especially newbies, to get involved in these informal nights. I wrote last time:-
(a) no pre-match notice boards - just turn up by 6pm on a Friday evening and register for that night
(b) everyone registering will play a fun, informal wear, game of mainly triples or possible pairs or fours from about 6.15 with matches designed i.e. 12 ends to end at about 8pm
(c) everyone can enjoy a post match drink from the bar on the veranda
(d) new bowlers will especially be encouraged to join these Friday Club Bowling Nights to better integrate themselves into the club
"Greenies" Latest Fancy Dress Outfit
Our two "New recruit" green keepers, Paul Green and Martin Dudley, recently attended an intensive two-day chemical spraying course at the club with an external instructor. We look forward to them putting their newfound knowledge to good use on the green.
