First club night

We had our first club night on Thursday. Six of us turned up for some coaching with Rodney Morrison, who laid on an amusing game for us all. Two teams, one at each end playing to a jack. This meant there were two jacks on the rink and we were all bowling towards each other! The last person to play in each team had to move the opposition bowls away from the jack (some devious tactics came into play!) and we were scored on how close our bowls were to our own jack.

Great fun and good for developing our accuracy.

If I recall correctly most of the “devious tactics” came from the person who wrote this article!!!!

Today we had the official opening of the bowls green. The sun shone for our first bowls activity of the new season and we welcomed two new bowlers.

The green was still very heavy, but with some rolling and closer cutting it should improve rapidly.

This Sunday sees the official opening of the green.

We’ll all be there to celebrate the start of a new season and are hoping for a nice, sunny day.

The event kicks off at 3:00pm. Why not come along.

Welcome to the new Merrow Village Bowls Club website.

We are a friendly club and a section of the Merrow Village Club. Club nights are every Thursday, with matches and friendlies played throughout the week. Our season runs from April to September, so why not come along and see what we’re all about.

Thanks to all those who donated to or bought from our jumble sale. We had a very good response and the money raised will go towards club expenses.

We are holding a Jumble Sale on Saturday, 9th April at 10:00am. Come along to the Merrow Village Hall for loads of bargains and interesting finds.
