Heversham Bowling Club

From Robin, our Chair.

Welcome everyone to the new Season for 2024. I hope old and new members are looking forward to an enjoyable, competitive, and social season on the green

We kick off this weekend with our Dominoes and Hot Pot Supper at the Athenaeum and I’d like to say thankyou to all who have assisted in getting this event up and running – let’s hope it’s an enjoyable success and generates some income for our club.

The green should be open this Sunday 17th March, weather permitting, and next week bowling gets under way with the pre season ‘friendlies’ between the Kendal A and B teams, The Seniors A and B and the Rural against all comers.

All we need now is some decent weather, but as you all know, a drop of Cumbrian rain does not stop us getting the bowls out. A big thank you to John and others, who have looked after the green over the winter and made it fit for playing, and to those who recently resurfaced the car park and the boon day team for preparing the clubhouse.

Finally, enjoy your bowls, play the best you can and have a great summer at your bowling club.

DOMINO EVENING

On Saturday March 16th the club held a domino evening in the Athenaeum. It was a good social occasion with people moving from table to table as they won points. Thanks to Colin who kept everyone in order, well at least he tried to do, and to all who prepared the evening and who worked in the background. Robin, our Club Chair, writes, “Really well done everyone. We made a profit of £289.50 – a great effort. Looking forward to arranging another fund raiser.”

The Heversham Navvies

Several club members picked up shovels, spades, and rakes to help clear the club car park for a new surface of stone to be laid. Once cleared, a 10 tonne delivery of limestone chippings was spread across the car park by the club ‘Navvies’. Club Chair, Robin commented, “Two days of hard work will hopefully pay off and keep the car park in good condition for the foreseeable future, well done to all those who took part.“

Robin adds, “Once again thanks to the club members who turned out in appalling conditions to finish laying another 5 tonnes of stone in the car park. Also well done to those who came down to the clubhouse for the Annual Spring Clean, Boon Day! Looking good for the new season.”
