Ormskirk Bowling Club

The storage shed was completed today. The other picture is us all enjoying a cuppa and doughnut yesterday, courtesy of Chris Butler.

The club now has its own portal on Bowlsnet – check it out on http://bowlsnet.uk/OrmskirkBC. You will be able to access all our teams’ results and tables for the Ormskirk, Aughton and Westhead Leagues and also access the main Bowlsnet pages for each league. All the fixtures are now on for the Ormskirk and Aughton Leagues

More pics from our Groundforce Day

It won’t be long until we start our junior bowling for anyone aged under 16. No experience or equipment necessary so if you know of anyone who might want to give it a try get in touch. Training will be on Thurs evenings (6pm) where we play lots of fun games. There is also the chance to play in our junior team and at a higher level.

A big thanks to all those that turned out today to help dig out and construct the bases for our new shelters and storage container. Altogether we had 15 members come down to help and many hands made light work. This is on top of Winnie and Margaret coming down yesterday to tidy the pavilion. This really was a superb turn out.  A few pictures of the morning’s activity are below. Steve Denning was clerk of works and his technical knowledge was invaluable.

The ‘Beast from the East’ has claimed another victim – our Groundforce Day on Saturday is now cancelled.  A re-arranged date will be communicated to members in due course.

Following the extensive consultation at our AGM, we have now put together a logo from the two options that were most favoured by members.  The shield was very popular and the circular image was probably second favourite (over all its various iterations).  To avoid the shield looking like a ‘school badge’ we have incorporated it into the circle – we really hope you like the resulting design.  This will now be discussed with the printers to check it is suitable for stitching and to get the colours right, and there may be a few more minor tweaks as a result.  The club will be in touch soon about what can be purchased and timescales.

A few pictures of the award winners at our Presentation Night – thanks to Ian Mayne who acted as photographer.

The club expects its new LED floodlights to be installed towards the end of April.  This is great news and yet another exciting move forward for our ambitious club.
