Calpe Promenade Bowls Club Welcomed Barremman Bowls Club from Helensburgh Scotland to our beautiful green by the Mediterranean Sea between the 22nd March through to the 29th March. The week was jam-packed with scheduled events, each day something different was enjoyed by all players and spectators.

Wednesday saw the main event of the week where clubs from Bonalba, El Cid and Barremman BC participated in 4 games of 6 ends of mixed triples. The result was a win for the Bonalba paring of Majorie Parnham, Steve McNally and CPBC player Tony James as lead. In second place were the 2 guest players of Pauline and Nevil and the Flying Scotsman Kevin. The third place spot went to Elaine, Andy and Craig and all-Scottish team.

No doubt one of the hightights of the week was the lovely sound of the bagpipes played by Dave who on several ocassons entertained both players and spectators alike. He also deserves a mention for his Ukulele playng in Bar 78 with renditions of his own variety of Scottish ditties and songs. enjoyed by all!

Watch the Video of Dave on the bagpipes here >>

CPBC would like to thank everyone for their participation throughout the week. To those who worked hard to not only bring Barremman BC to our green. Special thanks go to Elaine & Don Greenshields in not only getting everyone a good deal in Barremman BC to Spain, including organising apartments, and of course the wonderful food and drinks for the open competion. Also Andy who orgarnised the selection and scroing over the 2 competitions and along with his assistant scorer Don did a grand job. Also Natasha & Grahame Spurrier who kindly helped with the numbers.

In the end our main aim is to encourage anybody and everybody to take up our beautiful game (ideally at CPBC) but elsewhere is fine too!

We look forward to hosting Barremman BC again in the future and strengthening our friendships and mutual love of the game.

If you visit the Calpe Promenade Bowls Club website you will find a wonderful selection of images taken during the week's events along with a complete summary of the schedule and personal comments from CPBC President Tony James.

"Roll Up...Roll Up"

Given our wonderful oceanfront location it is no wonder we attract many visitors and spectators interested in our wonderful sport. They come from all over the world, some are simply curious at what a group of "seasoned" individuals clad in white are doing walking up and down an immaculately groomed bowls green. Some decide to try for themselves the intricacies of this extremely popular game. Some simply enjoy the location and take pleasure at viewing a competitive but friendly atmosphere.

Below is a snapshot of people who recently decided to give it a go for themselves and enjoy some coaching from our team. The introduction and their obvious enjoyment gave us great pleasure, and we hope to see some of them again in the future.

Why not Come along in person to find out more about our welcoming club...ask about tuition if you are new to the bowling scene. Our "roll ups" are Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 09:30 - 12:00.
