• CORONAVIRUS - Our Club is now operating almost normally - but please stay alert for potential symptoms and avoid any risks. Playing schedules etc for Members can be reviewed and edited via the Members-only Match Booking System and it can also be used to book in Shortmat playing slots, and much more. 

• Our next Social activity for Members is on Friday 25th February, and is a Quiz Night, with food provided. Full details are on the noticeboard at the clubhouse (rearranged from 18th Feb).

• We have successfully gained nearly twenty new members this year. The most recent are Elaine & Stuart Hill and Steven Murphy. Please make them feel welcomed by introducing yourself when you see them around.

• AGM highlights: Jackie Nurser has been co-opted onto the General Committee but the vacancy for Treasurer has yet to be filled. With increasing green maintenance costs now being incurred it was agreed to raise annual Membership Fees - the increases above the recent payments made are now due for payment (see separate emailed message on this, on 8th January 2022).

• Due to increasing demand, from the week commencing 7th February we will have two separate roll-up sessions on Monday and Tuesday afternoons at 2:00pm.

• We express our sympathy to the families of Vic Girle, Susan Sallis and Adrian Mulley, all of whom have sadly passed recently. 

• Our Short Mat Drawn Triples competition will be held on Saturday 19th March and the Shortmat Finals Night is on Wednesday 6th April.

• Whitchurch & District BA - Competitions 2022: Entry forms for the Whitchurch & District BA Competitions for 2022 are now on the noticeboard in both the Men's and Ladies Changing Rooms. If anybody would like to enter any of the singles/pairs or triples competitions please add your name to the relevant entry form. It is hoped that we can enter, say, 2 or 3 players in the singles and 2 or 3 teams in the pairs and triples competitions and that some of our newer members will take this opportunity to find out what it is like to play in competition bowls particularly in the Novice Singles and or the Mixed Pairs competitions.
