Fork Handles, Garden Volunteers Needed.

It may be the indoor season at the moment and soon the start of the outdoor season, but there is a lot of activity going on outside the clubhouse.

Preparing the green and the gardens for the onslaught of bowlers is a year-round task, undertaken by a team of volunteers.

Perhaps you may fancy doing a bit of gardening?  No application form or experience required.

Why not come along and see what we do, normally Monday morning’s around 10.00

Stand-up gardeners are very welcome, as well as those who like to get down with the weeds.

Perhaps you’re a fair-weather gardener? No Problem, we’ll look forward to seeing you when the sun comes out!

We are also on the lookout for gardening equipment, so if you’ve got any redundant forks or spades, we are keen to put them to good use.

Please contact Jane Finch, Trudi Jenkins or any member of the management committee for further advice.  

Photos below.        One sunny Monday morning in February, it was Tom’s turn to get his steps in, sweeping the green. Close by, Jane & Malcolm were spotted in the undergrowth, pruning and weeding.

Christmas Indoor Bowling Fun.

The Class of 23 umbrella bowlers enjoyed a fantastic Pre-Christmas evening session of indoor bowls at Burnham on Sea Bowls Club last week. Everyone including the spectators had donned their Christmas jumpers (or PJ’s!) as you can see in the photo.  

There was plenty of fun with lots of laughter, banter and singing. There was even a little dancing to some wonderful festive music played by the resident D. J.  Miss  Rita D.Home-made festive cupcakes cooked by the internationally renowned chef of Dib’s Creations, along with mince pies, apple pies and of course plenty of chocolate.

Mike was kept nice and busy behind the bar as normal and was seen singing along to himself, well done Mike.

From the spectator’s point of view it was great to see the massive improvement in all the bowlers and the encouragement they give to each other.

The Friday umbrella is now taking a break during the holiday season and will return in the new year. As always all new members, who joined in 2023 are welcome to come along on a Friday, to join in the fun. Registration is via the WhatsApp group at 6pm on Thursday with the bowling starting between 6.45 and 7pm on Fridays, once everyone has arrived.
