Ormskirk Bowling Club

The latest newsletter from the BCGBA is viewable/downloadable below.

A much deserved award at the Club’s AGM last night was the ‘Outstanding Contribution’ Award, which went to Marg Copeland. A hefty round of applause greeted this award, as Marg puts so much effort into playing in many of our teams, keeping us stocked with tea/coffee/milk, tidying up the clubhouse, helping out with our events and, most importantly, supplying sweeties to the teams she plays in!

Congratulations to some of our Club Cup Winners and runners up who were able to receive their trophies at the Club’s AGM last night.

Well done to our table topping teams from 2021, who are pictured parading their trophies at the Club’s AGM and Presentation Night.

Ormskirk Bowling Club are hosting a Winter Pairs Knockout Competition with the heats commencing this Tue 8th February 2022, 11am start.

Entrants for the first day of heats are now listed on the page created for this competition on this website – https://ormskirkbowlingclub.wordpress.com/pairs-knockout-2022/ 

Following a successful bid for funding the Club is in a position to buy new shirts for all its teams competing in the leagues. Members should have received a direct email, but if you are going to be a team member in the coming year in any of our league teams please let us know your shirt size now by completing the form at Shirt Order Form. Due to us needing to meet the funding requirements this needs to be done by the close of play Sunday or we might not order the right size for you. The shirts will be free for our team members.

These will be slightly more modern shirts than the current polo shirts. Hoodies can still be purchased from Premier Sports and we are looking into getting a baseball cap designed for those that might want them.

Following the completion of the Maghull Winter Pairs League on Tue 1st Feb, which has been held each Tuesday over the winter on our Artificial Green, Ormskirk Bowling Club members are invited to enter a Pairs Knockout Competition which is to be run by the Maghull & District Bowling League on the Artificial Green.

The Heats will be held in 4 groups over 2 days, Tue 08 Feb 22 and Tue 15 Feb 22, with the Finals on Tue 22 Feb 22 (all dates are subject to weather etc.)

Have been watching the World Bowls on the telly and fancy having a go yourself? If so why not come and give bowls a go at Ormskirk Bowling Club? Register your interest here and we will get back in touch with you.

We are a friendly club which welcomes beginners and we hold regular taster sessions and open days and have had many new bowlers join us over the last year or so. Bowls is a great social sport that everyone can play and it is brilliant if you want to meet new people and get some gentle exercise in the fresh air.

The club intends to hold the above event in the upstairs function room subject to Covid restrictions not changing.

Agenda and proposals are scheduled to be sent out at least 14 days before, can you therefore advise any further proposals, other than those I have already received, no later than Wednesday 19 January 2022.

Given the current climate can you let me know if you are intending to come to the AGM no later than Friday 21 January 2022, so that the committee can be satisfied that the numbers can be accommodated. Please include partners if they are also wishing to attend.

Appropriate measures will be required including the wearing of masks when not seated at the table and hand sanitising which will be available.
