CHUMMIES will commence earlier this year by request on Monday 15th April and ending on Monday 16th September.
CHUMMIES is a friendly time for new bowlers and seasoned bowlers alike to participate in a practice and learning environment, but importantly to have fun! One of the benefits of playing bowls which cannot be underestimated is the people you meet and the friendships you make.
There are usually several experienced bowlers to help and if new, individual roll ups can be arranged and tailored to experience. Please could I ask if like last year the weather is inclement or practice is required by competitive players, you ring beforehand to see if a rink can be arranged.
PRACTICALITIES
Prompt 09.30 arrival for 09.45 start.
10.45 - 11.15 coffee/tea/social/joke
11.15 - 12.15 further bowling
Please play £1 on arrival for refreshments. Please also take a disc from the table and when encouraged to do so come back, return the disc and take another which will have a coloured number on it., e.g. RED 4 means you are in the Red team on Rink 4!!

CHUMMIES will commence on Monday April 15th.
All bowlers welcome of any standard and who wish to enjoy a social roll up and opportunity to bowl with like-minded bowlers.
Evan if new to game or want to know more CHUMMIES should give the opportunity in an informal and relaxed setting to learn more about the game from fellow supportive players and players of all standards.
If you are new to the game and are looking for coaching please let me know on arrival.
New this year will be opportunity to have a tea break with biscuits.
Please note small charge of £1.00 for this payable as you arrive.
As tea break or coffee if you prefer is taking place;
please note start time is 09.30 for 09.45am start with 12.15 finish to ensure we get around two hours playing time.
To save the enviroment i would encourage use of score boards which will be set up for you.
To ensure a prompt start please would all players take a numbered disk in numerical order and then return it on return to pick up rink and team designation.
As far as i am aware only 29th July is not allocated for Chummies due to touring club visiting.

END OF THE SEASON CHUMMIES COMPETITION.
Despite the promise of lightening bolts and torrential rain; from 09.45 till 11.30
a Gods window appeared and the heavens only opened when we went inside for sausage rolls, tea and cakes (special mention to Angie for most delicious angel cakes).
20 Competitors eventually grasped Mark's unusual approach to competition format.
Australian Pairs
Roving Jacks.
Playing with different hand on 2nd end of 3.
Surprisingly some excellent alternative handed bowlers; one pinged Jack on first attempt!!
The table disc competition played at end of each 3 ends in case of a draw resulted in much laughter and some most unique styles of play.
Winners were=J.Croskell and D.Cooke
Second Place=M.Dickson and J.Russell.
Third place =C.Smith and J.Wormleighton.
Thank you for everyone who attended for a most enjoyable monday morning; and to everyone who has supported CHUMMIES throughout the season.
Hope to see you all next season and good luck and enjoy indoor season for those who are playing indoors.
