We are looking to create a Marketplace on the web site where members can buy and sell bowls, bowls clothing and equipment. If you have anything to advertise please send it to Allen Brookes at [email protected] If there is sufficient interest we will create a separate web page but in the meantime items will be posted on this page. See below.
THIS WEEK:
Monday to Thursday 4-30 to 10-30; Friday 4-30 to 11pm; Saturday Noon to 2pm plus in support of weekend matches
Both greens are still very soft and extremely heavy. Therefore in consultation with the Estate Manager and our Groundsman we have decided that the greens will NOT be available for roll ups this week but the Opening of the Green will still go ahead on 20 April 2pm start. This decision is not taken lightly but we believe is the right decision for the Greens and will benefit everyone over a long season.
Despite this, it is still a busy week at the Club with a number of private functions which members can browse at https://cheltenhambowlingclub.org.uk/events/
