BOWLING CLUB

The Bowling Club meets weekly on Tuesdays throughout the Indoor Bowling season from September to March.  In addition to playing competitively within the club, it is one of the nineteen clubs which make up the Six-Mile Water and District Indoor Bowling League, playing nine home matches and nine away matches each season. This year, the enthusiasm shown by the members of the club did not translate into tangible success in this wider competitive arena, nevertheless, it was satisfying and enjoyable to renew old acquaintances and make new ones on our travels to the league matches.

After a year of dwindling memberships, it was heartening to welcome a few new members from the congregation and the club was very pleased with the return of former members to bolster our numbers. Indeed, some members of the choir have proved themselves quite talented on the bowling mat. The long standing members of the Bowling Club have not reciprocated their support, and you will be pleased to note, have opted not to attend choir practice. These new additions bring the club’s current membership to 22; still some way short of the situation in 1975, when with membership restricted to 40, the Bowling Club had a waiting list of 25 people wanting to join. There is still plenty of room for more people to come along and join us. If you have never tried it, the theory is quite simple. The fun comes in putting it into practice. Age is not a barrier to participation as young and old compete on equal terms. So why not come along, whatever your age, and give it a go? The club extends a very warm welcome to anyone who would wish to join and is particularly keen to encourage former members to return and give it their support. We look forward to seeing you.
