BOWLING MATTERS:
Our 2024 Fixture Card can be found at https://cheltenhambowlingclub.org.uk/fixtures/ This is the 16th card produced by our Fixture Secretary John Doody; it is a vital and largely unsung task and we are immensely grateful to John for this work.
The new GBA Website has now ‘gone live’, at http://gloucestershirebowls.co.uk/ There is a ‘Members Area’ (MA) which is password-protected. Affiliated Bowling Members have received this password in a separate e-mail. More information on the Gloucestershire Bowls Online (GBO) management system will be e-mailed separately to bowlers shortly. Please note that the previous Gloucestershire Web Portal [ http://gloucestershirebowls.org.uk/ ] is still ‘live’ for a few more months, but will be decommissioned later in the year.
Final Short Mat Tables, Fixtures and Results are available at https://cheltenhambowlingclub.org.uk/short-mat-leagues/ The short mat leagues have now finished, but not as George would have liked. Unfortunately one of the final games was not played which had a major impact on the final league positions. Team 2 (George Bevan) won the Morning & Afternoon league on shot difference, with Team 7 (Angela Teakle) as Runners-up. As announced last week, the evening league had already been won by Team 25 (Peter Quinnell) with Team 24 (Ray Pilling) being the runners-up. Well, done to both winners and runners up. Also our thanks to George Bevan for running this successful winter league. The presentation of trophies will take place at the Bowlers evening on Tuesday 2nd April
Club Shirts & Jackets. The first of 3 orders placed this year has arrived and bowlers who ordered before the first deadline can collect their shirts at the Bowlers Meeting on 2 April or thereafter by appointment with Margaret or Penny. We hope to receive the second order compiled for those who missed the deadline before the end of the month. Shirts will only be released on proof of payment so please ensure you get a receipt when pre-paying at the bar or make your BACS payment in time to register in the clubs bank account before collection. A reminder that shirts cost £30 and jackets £45.
The Annual Bowlers Meeting will take place on Tuesday 2 April. Members are encouraged to attend the Defibrillator Demonstration before the meeting at 6-45. The agenda is Bowlers Meeting Agenda April 2024
