BOWLING MATTERS:
They’re off! County and National Competitions are now underway and you can find out how the club is doing in our quest for County & National honours at https://view.gloucestershirebowls.com/?view=competitions and https://www.bowlsenglandcomps.com/season/6/1
Updated Information for Bowlers has been added to the Coaching page. See https://cheltenhambowlingclub.org.uk/coaching-guide-2/
Markers required for the opening round of Cheltenham Open Singles on Sunday 25 May at 9-30pm. A good opportunity for those who attended the recent markers course to test your fitness for purpose. If you can help please contact Steve Sheldon at stephensheldon1994@gmai.com
To aid the selection process we have decided to put a closing date on when people can make themselves available for games via Bowlr. From now on if you wish to make yourself available for club matches please do so at least 14 days before the date of the game. Bowlr will technically allow you to add your name closer to the date of the game but you are unlikely to get picked. With this in mind all games up to June are now available on Bowlr. Any questions just ask the Captains or Michael Cox.
