Calne Bowls Club

Our Club Secretary Les, and his wife Ange, will be taking part in a local production.  At our club we make no secret of our desire to be community involved so below are some pictures that speak for themselves……..

…….and tickets are still available – phone 07733 231735

Which is which though?

So it’s the second month of the year, virtually all the fixtures for the coming season have been decided and are now shown on the Website.

Final confirmation of the green opening and public open days will be confirmed at the February committee meeting.

Good news for our Lady Captain Yvonne, whe has accrued the required points to be added to the BWL register of County players, well deserved.

.

This year this event had to be postponed due to the weather on the 27th November, however all being well it looks like the sun will be out tomorrow and Calne Bowls Club will be running its Tombola stall as usual.

We look forward to meeting as many of the public as possible and raise some funds for the club as we are looking to replace our 1947 pavilion which has served us well since 1947 I believe, if you know different please get in contact, always eager to get any historic facts about the club.

Well, the event took place and thanks to the support of the people of Calne we raised £475, well done.

Many thanks to all the members who have taken part in getting everything ready, in particular Yvonne and Steve McColl who did all the organising.

• This annual event took place at the North Wilts Golf Club, the set up and service was perfect as was the food, as we have always found in the past.
• The guests of honour were Carl and Louise Burrows, Carl is the Strategic Director of Imagine Cruising, who have supported the club for many years and have given the club the financial base to progress as they have done.
  Here are the photographs –
  First are the room set up before guests arrival, followed by general pictures and then finally the presentations –

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

The format was introduced in 2018 at the suggestion f our then Ladies Captain Pat Watson.

It could not be run, due to COVID, in 2020, but the last time in 2019 it attracted 24 members, this year there was almost 50. The programme for the evening is simple –

5pm set up table and chairs on rink 1

5-30pm draw for rinks

6pm start

7pm Fish and chip arrive.

7-30pm set out fats and tea lights

7-45pm start bowling as the sun sets.

Now here are the photos, no descriptions needed as they are self explanatory.

And the following day the green appeared to be back to normal
