John Parrott was fantastic and everyone, including British Crown Green, Lancs County Bowling Assoc., Mallinsons, the Deputy Mayor Cllr. Neil Furey, the Cricket Club and our wonderful Committee, members and visitors made this a very special day. Some pictures from the day are set out below.

Just a reminder that John Parrott will be opening our new bowling greens at 11am tomorrow (Sunday). A few of us will be arriving at 9.30am to make sure everything is set up and tidy, and we all know what we are doing. If any members would like to come and assist you will be more than welcome, and we are also asking members to bring along a bit of food for the buffet if they can. If everyone else could please arrive for about 10.45am so we can cut the ribbon on time. See you all tomorrow.
A good win today for our junior side, the Ormskirk Vikings against the Burscough Warriors. We won three of the four singles, with Jazmin, Chris and Lily all doing well. In the pairs it was one win apiece but both were close games. Tasha and Brandon won 21-19, but Emma and James just lost 21-20. Full results, averages etc on Bowlsnet.
Our grass green got its first cut this morning. It looks good with its stripes – watch our latest thrilling video, that I am sure is now trending on You Tube!!.
Junior and adult coaching sessions tonight are cancelled due to rain and lightning etc!
This great picture of our new green was taken by our Chairman, Steve, a few weeks ago.
Well done to the five junior players (Emma Denning, Jack Denning, Tash Hauley, Emma Gill and Matthew Gil) from our Club who played for the Lancs Junior team last weekend against Cheshire in the away team. Overall the team won the away leg and there was a great team spirit. Matthew Gill also had the honour of captaining the exam for the first time.
The programme for our opening event on Sunday 26th June is set out in the attached document – Programme for Opening Event
If you are a member please attend this event if you can as we really want to get a photograph of as many members as possible with John Parrott that we can put in our clubhouse and look back on in years to come.
It would be great if members could bring some food with them for the buffet (anything edible will do) and arrive a bit early if possible to help with setting out chairs/tables etc.
Congratulations to our Ormskirk League team who had 10 out of 10 winners tonight against a decent Burscough Legion team. The best winner on the night was Paul Makin (21-8) and Steve James produced a captain’s innings, winning 21-10.
Tomorrow (Wed) sees our A and B teams in the Aughton League play each other, following which (9ish) we are asking all Members to come and see if they can do anything to help for our grand opening.
