Meikleriggs Bowling Club

Our Ladies' Section held their annual Moira Boyd Member and Friends competition yesterday. It was a great day of bowling and friendship with 60 ladies taking part.
Our sincere thanks go to Kenneth Keegan Funeral Directors who once again sponsored our day.
Congratulations to the winners, Pamela Corrigan, Angela Gallagher and Sandra Lawrenson.
The runners-up were Isobel Mills, Mary McLelland and Brenda McMillan. Well done everyone.

Balloted triples today, what a great day with the sun shining down on us after some supberb bowls and fantastic final that went to extra end, it was well done Drew Neil, Colin Neil and Paul Elmes winning the triples trophy which allowed President John Bell to present the first trophy of the season. The second trophy was awarded to our wood spoon team The Four K***s trophy which went to Roddy McIntosh, Joe Mcmennemy and Bob McNeil.

The Riggs Help Louise Wilson raise money to support Cash for Kids Glasgow & West Scotland

The opening of the green was a great day with President John Bell welcoming everyone and wife Anne throwing the first jack and bowls with members, friends and invited guests looking on.

President John had a special announcement to make appointing Two New Honorary Club Vice Presidents to Pauline Kininmonth and Stuart McArthur. Many congratulations to both.

New members were invited onto the green to be presented with their club tie and badge.

The raising of the flag was complete by our Honorary Club President Alan Richmond supported by Cathy Queen.

For the bowls the weather was kind, the green was full and the banter was flowing.

After the bowls the banter and friendships continued with the President and guests relaxing in our lounge with members enjoying the main hall.

During the day a raffle was held for our three Kilt Walkers Riggs Members Honorary Secretary Marc Elmes with his wife Angela Elmes and Louise Wilson raising money for Cash for Kids. Thanks to all who purchased tickets.

The Grand National was watched with intent with winners and losers which was followed by a buffet provided for all.

In the evening we had entertainment by "Rio" which took us to the close of a great 2026 opening day.

Common on the Riggs.

Good Luck President John Bell in your year as President and your day on opening of the green.

Members and visitors please be down for 1.30pm today. We are are aiming 🍻to be on the green for 2pm.

Hopefully some bowls followed by some food, drinks and the grand national.

For those that are coming to the evening entertainment please bring a bottle for the raffle.🍾

Members and visitors please no parking directly in front of the flats please park up the street or down the lane and into the cricket park area.

For all other clubs all the best for your opening day celebrations.
