Club Fixtures List for Current Season
2025 CLUB FIXTURES
HATS & INFORMAL BOWLING
We understand that some members are not interested in bowling competitively so we hold 3 fun friendly hat games every week. There is no charge for hat games.
Tuesday and Friday evening hats - start times vary (look out for emails giving details) but generally 5.30pm or 6pm with sign-in required 15 minutes prior.
Just for fun, we keep the scorecards from the Friday night hat and generate a league table - 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 1 for turning up.
Thursday morning hats start at 10am with sign-in required by 9.45am and there is a break mid way for a hot cuppa and a biscuit (small charge).
ANNUAL KNOCKOUT COMPETITIONS
Our annual knockout competetions are detailed below.
Each round must be played by the date on the competition sheet (unless prior permission has been granted by the Ties Committee for an extension).
Bowlers are reminded that it is the responsibility of the first drawn name on the sheet to contact the opposition to organise the tie and arrange a marker where required.
