Ormskirk Bowling Club

This video, taken by Steve James tonight, which is now on our YouTube channel gives an idea of what the lights look like.

Work was carried out on the floodlights today and with the two dodgy lights repaired and all the lights adjusted it seems to have made a big difference. A big thanks to Nick and Barry who did all the work today, they have done a marvellous job.

Anyone wishing to play in the Winter Ladder please contact Ian Gill.  If you played last year you will automatically be entered again this year unless you let us know otherwise.  Anyone wishing to join as a winter member please complete the membership form on the Join page of this site.  The ladder will be starting soon and further details will be posted shortly.

Please could all bowlers using the greens now park on the gravel area and not drive onto the grass.  The wet weather has meant that the grass has started to get churned up. Many thanks for your co-operation.

Please let me know, if you have not already messaged Ian Gill, if you are interested in joining this years Winter Bowls Ladder which we are starting a week next Monday.

The rules are on the club website under Winter if you are not familiar with them.

This weekend’s ground force has been cancelled due to the inclement weather.

Please note if you are coming to help with the greens tomorrow you may have to park outside the clubs as there is a beer festival at the cricket club and access may be blocked.

Please note that end of season renovation work is being undertaken on both greens this week.

On Saturday 28 September Eric will need members help from 12 noon onwards to remove the cores after hollow tining. Please bring shovels (snow shovels are ideal) and a wheelbarrow if anyone has one.

Please note both greens will be closed on 28&29 September.

Due to a poor forecast for rain for most of the afternoon the decision has been taken to postpone the Chairman’s Cup competition. A new date will be circulated so keep your eyes open for updates on the website.

The forecast is not good for the Chairman’s Cup competition tomorrow.  Please keep an eye on the club website in the morning and a decision will be reached by 11am as to whether it will go ahead or not.
