It was a little bit chilly this morning, but some brave (foolhardy?) bowlers carried on playing regardless! The green went from lightning fast to extremely slow. Thanks to James Read for the cinematography.
Did you know we have a YouTube channel? When you visit don’t forget to like and subscribe so that you will get notified if we post any new videos. On there you can find some videos of the construction of the greens and the laying of the carpet on the artificial green.
The strong winds on Friday night amazingly blew the large away shelter by the grass green completely over and into the fence behind it. The smaller shelter had also moved off its base. This morning a group of members manged to get it upright and put back into position. Steve Denning has now screwed down that shelter and the smaller one alongside the grass green. Thanks to all those that came down to help.
Please note that cars should be parked on the gravel drive areas and not on the grass in front of the bowling club during the winter season as the grass is starting to get churned up.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Correction to previous post, please leave any surplus wood by our bowls club double gate.
Please note due to the above event bowlers are required to park just past the pavillion on this day so that the bonfire can be built. Also please vacate the green by 3pm.
If anyone has any wood they do not need please leave on the pile by the cricket club’s double gate.
I am sure the cricket club would appreciate any support our members would like to provide by attending this event.
We are looking at numbers for teams next year and will probably want to start a beginners team. If you haven’t already filled out the form previously circulated on a previous post please can you do so in the next couple of days, as we have to make decisions fairly soon.
Just to clarify if you want to carry on in the team/s you are already playing in then no form is required, but if you want to join a beginners team or join extra teams please fill in the form on the link below.

Great work from Peter Bailey and Eric Barklem, who have put guttering on our pavilion. The front was done a few weeks ago and the back has also now been completed. Thanks for your efforts.
Do you know of any children who may be interested in giving bowling a try? See our short video above. Bowling is a great fun non-contact activity for children of all ages, who can not only compete with differing ages equally, but also play against adults. Our Bowling Academy runs every Thursday evening from around Easter until late summer. Children can play just for fun, but we also run a junior team and there are opportunities to play at District and County level. Register your interest now on our Junior page.
The Winter Bowling Ladder has now got its highest number of participants ever – 40 people are on the Ladder now. It has also already experienced its highest ever monthly total of matches – 37 – and the month is nowhere near over! The Winter Pairs League has now been drawn and has been separated into a Midweek and Weekend Leagues. All details can be found under our Winter Tab on the Club’s website.
As a reminder, could all members please wear appropriate footwear on the artificial green – you need to wear flat soled shoes or trainers as you would on a grass green. Please do not wear any heels or boots on the green as this could damage the surface.
The first post on this website, after it was created, was on 24 June 2013, and was to inform about the planning consent granted on the Comrades Club site in Ormskirk. This eventually led to the monies that largely helped fund our two greens and facilities. A major milestone has now been reached with this site having had over 100,000 hits. This year alone has seen almost 20,000 hits already, and the website is being used more and more. Some of these hits are coming from all over the world. We might not quite be a global brand yet, but this reflects the continuing success of the club and its growth through the recruitment of new members. Thank you to all our Members and don’t forget that you can be notified of new posts by filling in the box at the top of the right hand column on this site.
That original post, and all old posts, can be viewed if you scroll down the bottom of any page, where you can search by date for posts.
