Penketh Crown Green Bowling Club

This is what we woke up to. Going to need more than just some wellies. If any of our members can help please do and be there tomorrow. More rain expected today

Not long to go before the green is open once again, let's hope it gets a bit drier and warmer, although I am sure a bit of rain won't stop us . Lots of work has taken place on the green over the winter months and you will notice some changes in the running of the bowls, it all adds to the fun, discovering the new 'marks'. Look out for some new competitions this year, we are trying to make them as inclusive and as fun as possible, no pressure just for the pleasure of playing, so please join in. We also have some dates in mind for trips to other bowling venues, some new, some we had visited before. Our focus this year is on raising funds for a defibrillator which I am sure you all know can buy valuable minutes in saving a life. See you all soon, happy bowling.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. Your support of the club is greatly appreciated.

It is with sadness that I have to announce the passing of Brian James. Brian joined us in 2011 and has been a well liked member of the Men’s Parks team. If any of his fellow bowlers would like details of the funeral arrangements please message me or check the website. Our sincere condolences to Brian’s family.

On Bank Holiday Monday our members enjoyed Afternoon Tea and a game of bowls in the sunshine. Thank you to all our 'bakers' for the wonderful treats. Money raised from the raffle was donated to Macmillan Nurses in memory of Ron Green who was always on hand to help out with his time and advice, his presence will be much missed.

Congratulations to the Men's Parks League Team on their recent League Win

On Saturday we had another successful day out to Guy's Thatched Hamlet, Garstang. Despite the rain showers, 35 members, enjoyed a day's bowling followed by a three course meal. Thanks to the staff at Guys for keeping us fed and watered throughout the day. A special mention to Mike, who was up into the early hours, organising the order of play for the three competitions. A BIG THANK YOU. Thanks also go to Brian and Anne for travel arrangements and making sure our dinner orders were correct.
Congratulations to the competition winners and all who took part and supported us. Our next trip is to Croston on 20th September, look out for further details. I have added some pics. In one Mike/Michelle? can been seen wearing a skirt, this is because we were short of a lady to take part in the Ladies' Pairs. What dedication to the game. The bottles on the table belong to some of the raffle winners.

Well done to our Ladies Thursday Afternoon Team. A clean sweep, doesn’t happen often👏👏👏so well worth a mention.
