CLEAR OUT DAYS – 21/22 SEPTEMBER 2024

It has been brought to The Management Committee’s attention from several members, that our changing rooms and clubhouse has been looking untidy and cluttered for a long time with one thing or another.

So with this in mind the club has decided there will be a total clear out of the changing rooms & the clubhouse.  

Please assist us by taking by all your belongings home from both the changing rooms & clubhouse, including bowls, bags & clothing, or put safely away in your locker by Monday Morning 23rd September.

This process should identify items that do not belong current members or former members.

Any items unclaimed will be stored elsewhere. A photograph of the items will be put in a folder and kept in the clubhouse for six months.

Any items still unclaimed (with no identifiable owners name) will be sold off for club funds, given to charity or otherwise disposed of as appropriate,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION IN ADVANCE

On Behalf of The Management Committee

 

 

 

 

Congratulations goes to Janis on making her debut for the bowls club away against Mark Moor Bowls Club on Friday the 30^th of August.

Janis contributed very nicely to win on her rink in the triples as lead bowler and overall for the club against a strong team, with Burnham on Sea Bowls Club winning 100 points to Mark Moor’s 98.

Janis said after the game she found the game to be very friendly and a very enjoyable experience and loved the feeling of being part of Burnham on Sea Bowls Club.

Janis also added she is looking forward to playing more matches for the club leading up to the end of the season and has added her name for more friendly’s. 

A big well done from the other members and welcome to our friendly bowls club Janis.

Janis is shown in the photo being presented with her complementary shirt for playing in her first match for the club by the Men’s Captain and captain of the day Bob Brown.

 

 

The Charity Open Day on Sunday May the 26^th 2024 was to encourage new bowlers to have a taster of playing bowls and to raise some funds for two local charities  –  Burnham Area Rescue Boat,      BARB.    and    Friends of Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital once again.

Although the day was almost a complete washout this year with the very heavy rain, many turned up and we raised almost £400 with the club rounding the figure up. Lots of visitors enjoyed the experience, even though they and many club members had soggy socks and shoes by lunchtime.

There are far too many people to thank individually for their great effort and contributions made before and on the day.

Don Bridges Chairman, and Richard Luscombe, President of Burnham on Sea Bowling Club.  Can be seen presenting a cheque for £200 to BARB’s  Treasure Graham Holdsworth at the rescue station late in August.

Another £200 cheque was delivered personally by the Chairman to Mrs Ceri Joyce Chairman +  Publicity Marketing officer of Friends of Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital earlier in the month.
