Ormskirk Bowling Club

We have a small team of volunteers who help with mowing, artificial green upkeep and general greens maintenance.

On the basis that during the season we need to mow the grass green 3 times a week apart from the surrounds which also need mowing regularly, we would be grateful if any members could join our team which would also be beneficial to cover holidays, etc.

Please speak to Ian, Martin, Nigel or Steve if you would be willing to assist or e-mail ormskirkbowlingclub2013@gmail.com

Thank you.

We are sorry it has taken so long but many thanks to Mark Percival for sorting today. Apparently they stopped working due to water ingress.

We currently rely on just one or two members who kindly take home any rubbish that is left in our bins as we do not have a bin collection. Would all members please take home their own rubbish wherever possible, just bring a bag, pop it in and take it away.

Also, please do not overfill bins if you really have to leave rubbish, we have new bags under the sink, and put cans/bottles that can be recycled in the designated bins. Rubbish should not be left in bags outside as this attracts vermin. Thank you for your cooperation.

Twenty bowlers attended the annual Chairman’s Cup on Sunday afternoon and had a great afternoon of bowling. A new format was tried with every pair playing each other, before a final featuring the top two pairs. The nine games per pair were played over five ends, as was the final. 

Nick Slater and Dean Simmonds came top of the round robin format with 57 chalks. Dave Allister and Dave Hulse secured second place with a 13 point haul in their last game. They narrowly pipped Neil Kennedy and Joey Copeland for a place in the final. Ted Baker and John Leadbetter had a strong campaign as did Kev Maher and Peter Grimes. 

The final was tight with two evenly matched pairs. After four ends the pairs were locked at 3 across. However, Dean made good use of the block and played two great woods on the last end, which saw his team to victory. 

Thanks to everyone who came along. All monies raised will go into the club’s funds. Congratulations to Dean and Nick who were worthy winners on the day.
