We are holding free taster sessions for anyone that would like a go at bowling this coming Saturday (7th) at 10.30am and 2pm. Just turn up and wear flat soles shoes or trainers, all equipment provided. Suitable for all the family from 7 years up to 107 years old😀. Trained coaches will show you what to do. You can find us off Altys Lane at the back of the Cricket Club.
Any members who can come along and help with either session would be most welcome.
Thankfully, all the problems we have been having with the water connection have now been resolved. Ian Potter has kindly fixed the pipes and the toilet block is fully usable again and it is possible to have a brew! Many thanks to Ian for all his hard work on this.
Great progress has been made with treating all our shelters and there is only a little bit left to do. Next jobs will be varnishing the away hut by the artificial green and painting the seats, and we will have a groundforce day in due course to sort those out.
Steve, Ian, Danny and Fritz made great headway on treating the shelters and pavilion yesterday. Not much left to do and we will try and finish off possibly on Saturday or Sunday weather permitting.
The forecast is good so if anyone could come down to assist with treating our new shelters today (Thursday) from 1.30pm please come down. Â If you have an old large paintbrush bring it along and (obviously) wear old clothes! We may do some more over the weekend but that will be weather dependant.
We are looking for a few extra players to play on a Wed evening in our Ormskirk Castle team. This is your chance to play in our historic first season on the grass green. If you are interested (or know if anyone who might be) please get in touch. All abilities, including beginners, welcome. The season starts in 2 weeks.
The new shelters have arrived and look really good.
We have just had confirmation that the floodlights have been ordered and should arrive within 4 weeks. The light columns have also been ordered. We do not currently have an installation date but watch this space. The image below shows a similar LED floodlight (albeit mounted on a ceiling). This will be a further major step forward for our club on our journey to be the best bowling club in the Universe! 
Thanks to Fritz for laying on a great quiz for those that came along to pay their subs – congratulations to Steve, Nick, Horse and Ken for winning it! If you haven’t yet paid your subs please do so as quickly as possible and fill in the Existing Members Renewal Form (which is very quick and easy) – all details at https://ormskirkbowlingclub.wordpress.com/existing-members-renewal/. Thank you to all those that have already paid.
All home fixtures for all our teams are now on the calendar on this website. If you go to the Calendar page and select the ‘agenda’ view that is probably the best way of viewing them. This will enable you to see when our greens are being used. The closest fixtures to the present time can be viewed on the column to the right on the website. Please check official fixtures and with your captain for official start times.
