Hello everybody, Very sad news. Sadly Jim Geoghegan died early this morning. He had struggled for a few years with myeloma but it finally got the better of him after a stoical fight. He was a very proud man who never wanted a fuss made. When he knew that his time was limited, his primary […]
Hello everybody, Last week I flagged up that our men are playing Bristol in the Denny cup on Saturday morning starting at 10.00am and on Sunday, MidGlos A team is playing MidGlos B team in the Wessex. The added attraction of this Sunday game is that bacon baps will be available as long as stocks […]
Hello everybody, If you were in the club this morning, you will have seen me in a different role! My Mrs. Mop role! Mark is off ill so members of the Board are “mucking in” or “out” would be more to the point! If anyone else fancies a turn, you’d be more than welcome – […]

Everyone appears to be really happy to be back and operating normally unless you’d rather take the cautious approach which is fine. All we want is for members to feel comfortable. Lists are now up for the men’s Wessex A and B […]
Hello everyone, We’ve almost completed a week of the new season! It’s been lovely to see, feel and experience the buzz of a full and happy club again. “Welcome back” to the summer outdoor bowlers and a warm welcome to all our new members (I’m pleased to say that there are quite a few). Not […]
Hello, I’m not saying anything about the weather since I may jinx it but … enjoy! First of all; many thanks to those of you who’ve come forward to volunteer. More of the office vacancies have now been filled. However, the catering side of things is still looking very needy. It’s a big ask to […]
