Today, we had our Ron Garner Shield Competition. Every member of a team gets to play in a different position after 6 ends - eg lead, two then skip. A total of 18 ends played. A great concept of scoring too! We started off playing a spider, where Eric won a bottle of Prosecco!
A big thanks to Ed Carter for organising the event. Dick Moss, a fantastic bar man. Margaret and Bob Francis for a brilliant bbq. Val Wing for running the raffle. The two teams who will play one another on finals weekend are: Denis Ruffet, Diane O’Connell and John Gilhinney. They play against Keith Owen, Danny and Chris Macdonald.

This is an interesting article. Thought I’d share

💭How can bowls clubs attract new players - and give them a reason to stay?

The future of bowls may depend less on •promotion• and more on the •culture• newcomers experience. A welcoming club can turn curiosity into participation, friendship into belonging, and first visits into long-term involvement. An intimidating or overly critical environment can drive people away.

Most newcomers are looking for friendship, fun, and community - not immediate titles or elite competition. Clubs that support these motivations are more likely to retain members.

Have you experienced welcoming or unwelcoming club environments? How did the atmosphere affect your enjoyment and willingness to return?

How can clubs respect tradition while appealing to the next generation?

What practical changes would help newcomers feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and becoming part of the club?

If promotion brings people through the gate but culture determines whether they stay, what kind of culture should bowls clubs create?

Please sign this petition in order for the changes to be made in the school curriculum. The game of bowls should be encouraged and enjoyed by young people. Thank you
