The outdoor season is now almost with us, following what we understand to have been a highly enjoyable indoor season. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have worked so hard to keep things running so smoothly throughout the winter months.
The green will open on Wednesday April 16th with Burnham Mayor and Town Crier doing the honours. There will be a spider, a few ends of bowls and the indoor competition trophy presentations.
Tom, our greenkeeping coordinator and team did a great deal of extra work during the closed season. The details are too much to go into here and, to be honest, we don’t fully understand some of the terms they use anyway! However, we would like to congratulate all those in the team and also Avon Sports for their hard work and for producing what is now a lovely and welcoming green for all our members and visitors to enjoy.
We have a full season ahead of us with opportunities for new members to become involved in all aspects of the game. Let’s just hope that members old and new will all support our selection team by indicating their availability to play games!
The club’s Open Day is Sunday 25th May from 11.00 to 16.00. Please come along to volunteer or just pop in to watch and support the club. There will be a BBQ, Raffle, Tombola plus plenty of other things to do and, of course, the bar will be open.
On behalf of the Management Committee, we sincerely thank you in advance all for your support and we trust you will all have an enjoyable season.
Happy bowling!
