Hi everyone
Well that draws a close to the bowling season at Cawdor, we had our Forsyth shield fun day competition which had a fantastic turn out. The winner today was Calum Thomson with Ally Christie the runner up.
Congratulations to Calum. 👏👏

The weather was great and lots of laughs on the green was heard, even Percy came along and joined in the fun.
Afterwards we had our prize giving. Congratulations to each and every one of them and must try harder to each and everyone of us who failed to make the list 🤣

The club champion was Marcus Colvin
The men’s singles champion was Brian McWilliam
The Ladies champion was Jackie Dyker
🎉🎉🎉

This year our greenkeeper Brian McWilliam has decided that he has cut the grass for the final time. There was a special mention of appreciation and an presentation of travel vouchers to Brian for all the hard work Brian has put into Cawdor green making it a pleasure to play bowls on, also his wife Ruth was also presented with a bouquet of flowers, thank you again for all your hard work and dedication, you did a fantastic job👏👏

Club member Billy Lowry has volunteered his services on filling the greenkeeper position vacated by Brian. A tough act to follow but I’ve no doubt Billy will do a fantastic job maintaining the high standard of green he’s inherited from Brian.

There was a special note of appreciation and a bouquet of flowers present to Susan Smith our secretary for all the hard work behind the scenes she performs without question and with a smile. 👏👏

Thanks to out treasurer Graeme McIntosh for filling various positions within the club ensuring smooth running. 👏👏

A small bowling club like Cawdor depends on a dedicated committee and club members to run efficiently, throughout the season there are many requests for raffles, cake bakes and donations of sorts. Everyone pulls together and makes it happen, for everyone who comes to call it is very much appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed. 👏👏

There are far too many people who help out during the season so would be rude to single anyone out for their graft, without everyone pulling in the same direction we wouldn’t have the club that we have.

We welcomed a good few new club membership this season with open arms and look forward to welcoming them and everyone back in April 2027.

Cawdor bowling club is a lot more than just a bowling club, it’s a safe place for us all to come where we can relax, meet new people and socialise. Everyone receives a warm welcome.

Throughout the winter the Whist and craft groups will continue to meet alternative weeks with this coming Thursday (17th September) being whist.

Have a great winter everyone and look forward to catching up again with everyone next year.

Can’t say let the bowls roll for everyone so for those not doing indoor over the winter get those bowls polished ready for the new season in April and for those going to the indoor , let those bowls roll 👍

These are a collection of bowling club badges that belonged to the Late Moira Macintosh of Newlands of Clans Farm a long time member of Cawdor bowling Club. They were gifted to the club by her son Donald. Billy Lowrie has done a great job in mounting them on a board for them to be displayed in the club house. The old Cawdor bowling club logo badge featuring the castle looks impressive.

Today was the final club competition of the year and what a fantastic day all round it was, the weather turned out great and the standard of bowling was first class with the more experienced bowlers being matched with the newer members to the club. There was a relaxed, friendly and a competitive atmosphere on the green all day.
The final was between Roy McConnachie and Susan Smith v Les Smith and Anne Neill, it went to an extra end where Roy and Susan were the worthy winners, congratulations to them both. 👏👏
We had the pleasure of having Reg Kings Daughter Jenny Smith along today to present the Salver to Roy and Susan. We were delighted to have you along today and enjoying the afternoon.

Thanks to Graham for doing a great job and getting everything done on a timely manner.

The green is still playing and looking great and that’s thanks to the greenkeeper Brian McWilliam.

Evening everyone

Well that concludes Nairn bowling week for another year, the weather was a mixed bag but it never dampened the spirits of the players or the spectators. (Much 😉) what a fantastic week it’s been.

Congratulations to the winners

Singles - Martin Lumsden of Fortrose & Rosemarkie
Pairs - Brian and Ruth McWilliam of Cawdor
Triples - Colin Benson, Yuan Benson and Muriel McCallum of Cooper park Elgin.

Thanks to everyone who took part and made it the spectacular event it is in the bowling Calendar 👏

It takes a huge amount to time and effort from lots of people working behind the scenes to make events like these a huge success from , baking, serving teas, setting up greens, preparing the greens, making ties, time keeping , umpires, organising the games, the list goes on and on.
Without these dedicated individuals events like this wouldn’t be the success it is, thanks to you all 👏

Enjoy the remainder of the season and look forward to seeing you all back again next year.
