Bowls Club

Meldreth Bowls Club

Well, no sooner had the season started than it was over. With mixed fortunes in the three leagues that we play in, as well as some close encounters in the County Competitions, the membership have enjoyed a much-needed post Covid return to the green. Two successful recruitment days have served to swell our membership and many of our newer bowlers have enjoyed the Tuesday morning roll ups. When the green closes for essential winter maintenance work, our bowlers will move into the club house for short mat bowls (again on Tuesdays from 10.00am to noon) before finally closing on Tuesday 9th November. So, if you still fancy trying bowls you are most welcome to come along on a Tuesday morning; you will be assured of a very warm welcome. Plans are already under way for the 2022 season. This will be an important year in the life of the Club since we will be celebrating our 90th anniversary, so watch this space for some special events throughout the year. We will also be hosting an inaugural Open Pairs Competition with some attractive money prizes for the winners and runners up. We hope to attract entrants from all over the county.

Race Night: Friday 15th October

The fact that bowls will have finished for the season does not mean that we have gone into hibernation; far from it! We are planning several social events, the first of which is the ever popular ‘Race Night’ to be held at the club on Friday 15th October commencing at 7.30pm. The ticket price is £10.00 and is inclusive of a fish and chip supper. Tickets, which need to be purchased in advance, are available from me on 07900 493182 or by emailing jim.hatch99@btinternet.com.
