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.
Weather permitting, the club will be holding a further taster session on Thursday evening (25 April) at 7pm. Anyone who wants to have a go at bowling please come along, all equipment provided. All those who attended last week really enjoyed it and intend to come back for a further go.
Our Ormskirk team maintained their grip on the top of the Ormskirk Premier League tonight, with a fine 11-1 win against Our Lady’s from Formby, who did not travel well onto our carpet. It was so nearly a clean sweep until the last match where ‘The Horse’ just fell at the last fence in a narrow defeat to John Stewart under the lights.
The Ormskirk Castle had the opposite result at the Skem Park fortress of the Rebels, who kept an ominous 4 points behind the league leaders. Chris Butler was the only winner.
It was great to see both greens in use, with Hurlston Hall using the grass green as a temporary home whilst sorting out the problems with their own green.
The club held a great taster session on Thursday evening, with 8 beginners turning up and lots of members helping out which was much appreciated.
Everyone seemed to enjoy it on a lovely warm evening. Congratulations to Jane and Beverley who just pipped Kath and Wendy in a tight Pairs game. All who attended commented how enjoyable and relaxing the evening was.
There will be another taster session next Thursday (25th) at 7pm for any further people who couldn’t make it last night. Please bring down some friends and give them a taste of bowling.
Come and try a different sport that is suitable for all the family, young or old, and also have the opportunity to gain new friends and get a bit of gentle exercise. Ormskirk Bowling Club has been up and running for just over three years and is opening its doors to anyone that would like to come and try crown green bowls on its fantastic new artificial and grass bowling greens. Simple to learn but a bit more difficult to master, bowls is the ideal sport for all ages that anyone can try.
Free taster sessions are being run on Thursday 18 April and Thursday 25 April starting at 7.00pm – attend one or both sessions and no booking is necessary. No special equipment is needed – all you need to bring is a pair of trainers to play in. For those that enjoy it there will be further coaching sessions held. All ages are welcome.
Whilst young players are welcome at the 7pm sessions, the Club also runs bowling sessions specifically for those aged 7-16 on Thursdays at 6pm and young people are welcome to come and have a go – it is free for the first session.
If any members have friends or family who may want to give it a go please bring them along. Any help from members would be welcomed.
Junior bowling will return to Ormskirk Bowling Club on Thursday 18th April. The session will start at 6pm and last until 7pm. Anyone who knows any potential young players aged 7-16 please bring them along and give them a taste of crown green bowling. All equipment provided and no experience is necessary.
