Ormskirk Bowling Club

It is Mental Health Awareness Week. We are a friendly club in Ormskirk playing crown green bowls, a fun and social sport, for all ages & abilities. Come along to our taster session on Thursday 16 May at 7pm, make new friends and get some gentle exercise.  No special equipment required – just wear trainers or flat soled shoes.  All those that have attended so far have had a great time – just turn up and join in the fun!!

Well done to Lily who was made player of the day for the Lancashire Juniors home team today. Lily put on a marvellous performance against a much older player and only lost to 17.

Brother Harry was Lancashire’s number 1 today, and also played well against older opposition.

The Club is very proud to see 8 of its young players representing Lancashire Juniors today against Derbyshire at Coppull Conservative Club. Good luck.

This evenings junior and taster bowling sessions have been cancelled due to the cold damp weather. Hoping for better weather next week!

Edge Hill University students enjoyed a great crown green bowls taster session at our club tonight. A big thanks to Edge Hill Students Union who helped organise the event (especially Dan and Amanda) and the Club members who helped out.

The students enjoyed games of spider, bowls cricket and using the target wedge. One student may now even look to start up a bowling society.

Let’s help save the Waterloo, any donation however small will help. This is the Wembley of crown green bowls.

Thank you to all members who have already paid their annual subscriptions for the year. If you have not yet paid and you are not intending to join this year please can you let me know so that I can amend the membership records accordingly.

The committee has agreed that any members who play for a team will not be selected if they have not paid their annual subscriptions by 31st May. Please make arrangements via the club website to pay online (preferred) or by cheque. Any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

The club will be doing a special session for Edge Hill Students on Thursday evening starting at 6pm.  There may be quite a few students coming along so if any members are available to help it would be much appreciated

The taster session which was going to be run on Thursday evening is cancelled and will be moved to the following week.

The junior session is also cancelled.  A special training session will be held before Sunday’s Federation matches and parents will be contacted directly about that.

The weather seems to have improved so the junior bowls session is on at 6pm followed by the taster session at 7pm.
