We have again been let down in trying to replace the two led lights (which we have in stock) in the floodlight by the away shelter on the grass green. We would be grateful for any recommendations for an electrician with a suitable ladder (or similar) to install them, especially anyone who has an association with another club who have floodlights and may have a regular contact.
Please e-mail ormskirkbowlingclub2013@gmail.com with any recommendations.
Ormskirk Bowling Club is starting its popular ‘Bowl for Fun’ sessions on Thursday 4th June at 7pm. If you fancy meeting new people, learning a new skill and getting a bit of gentle exercise come along. These are aimed at complete beginners and are a great introduction to crown green bowls in an informal and fun way, with qualified coaches showing you how to play.
Last year over 30 people attended and many ended up joining the club! There are 6 weekly sessions, each lasting about 1.5 hours and costing £3. You can attend as many or as few as you wish. All attendees qualify to join the club at a reduced annual membership rate for this year of £30 (normally £60).
Congratulations to this month’s winners. Your prizes are on the way. The draw was conducted at yesterday’s Aughton Seniors game by Frank Johnson. To those existing and new members who would like to support the club, details to join and pay £5 a month per ticket are on the 100 Club tab on the club website. Your contributions are/will be greatly appreciated.
After a successful inaugural year we will be repeating the above competitions open to all members to be run throughout the season. Steve James will co-ordinate the singles and Dave Roper the pairs both via WhatsApp.
The winners of both competitions will receive the Eric Barklem Singles & Pairs Trophies as a tribute to his memory.
Please e-mail ormskirkbowlingclub2013@gmail.com by 22nd May if you wish to be included in either or both competitions specifying your partner if you are in the pairs. Each round will have a date by which it is to be completed.
Congratulations to Ted who won this year’s Winter Ladder Final.
Mo raced into a 9-0 lead with some very impressive bowling. Ted pulled some points back until it was locked even at 12-12. Then Ted upped a gear or two to win 21-15 with both players playing some very good bowls indeed on what was a bright and breezy Sunday morning.

Ormskirk Bowling Club is proud to host the Ormskirk West Lancs team this coming Sunday 12th April. The team is playing Middleton and the match will be starting at 2pm. Two of our own players, Mike Fagan and Ian Gill, will be playing in the home leg, as well as well known players from other local teams. Come along and cheer the team on. The Cricket Club’s bar will be open, with tea and coffee also available, and there will be plenty of seating around the green.
We have been let down several times in attempting to replace the floodlights by the away shelter on the grass green but finally we should have the lights and we have someone to install them so we are hopeful they will be working in the next few weeks.
