Well, the Green is now Open and the Fun Day over. Thank you to everyone who came along and enjoyed the fun.
It felt good to be back on the Green with friends again, sending your bowls towards the Jack. The green is pretty good, given the weather, but, today the sun shone and we all had a great time.
Just confirming that the Green will open for our first event on Tuesday 16th at 2pm.
This is our traditional Charity Match and so we will ask for £2 from each player to compete in the preliminary Spider. After the Spider, we will choose some teams to compete over 10 ends, depending on the numbers – So come along and loosen those arms!
After Tuesday the Green is obviously open for the rest of the season.
This week’s highlights:
Feel free to use the Green for a Roll Up anytime.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Pre season preparation for the surface of the Green has been badly affected by the weather, not just of late, but all through the winter months.
We have not been able to cut the saturated grass at regular intervals, the last time being well over a week ago. The grass height needs to be gradually reduced to a playing level, in the correct conditions this may be managed over a week.
If bowls were played on the ground at the moment then damage would be caused due to the softness; on top of this the speed would be intolerably slow. Taking all this into account, the Green team will try to have a reasonable playing surface by Tuesday 16th April, but there is no guarantee, particularly if we have any more wet weather.
We’ve therefore decided to move the opening Charity Fun Day on 16th April at 2pm.
