See the article on Q Local that talks about our new greens and the progress being made.  I know that the reporter was very impressed with the facilities. http://www.qlocal.co.uk/ormskirk/news_list/Green_for_go_at_Ormskirk_Bowling_Club%21-54972939.htm

New Pavilion arrived

Posted on April 4, 2016 by iangilly66

The new pavilion has arrived. We decided not to treat it with the timber treatment we had got and await a clear varnish to show the wood off at its best. There is also a picture of our completed smaller pavilion.. Our esteemed Chairman Mr James is shown relaxing on the new verandah.

Pavilion Help Update

Posted on April 4, 2016 by iangilly66

Our new Pavilion will not now be erected until this afternoon so we are delaying any painting/treating until about 5.30, weather permitting. Please bring an old brush and clothes you don’t mind getting ruined. Timber treatment is in our new store and Ian Gill will be down to open it up and direct proceedings – just hang on for him to arrive.

New Pavilion

Posted on April 3, 2016 by iangilly66

Our new pavilion arrives tomorrow (Mon) and, subject to weather, it would be good to get it treated as soon as possible. Any volunteers please come down with a suitable brush for 4ish. If it is raining or drizzling we will delay until Tuesday afternoon.

Great job

Posted on April 3, 2016 by iangilly66

The small pavilion, that will be used by away team players, was put up successfully today. Great turnout to help and it was needed to get the roof on, thanks to all that came. Steve Denning’s practical expertise came in especially useful!

First Result

Posted on April 1, 2016 by iangilly66

On a cool and wet evening on the Tute green the Ormskirk Millers just went down.  Despite 5 winners each we could only manage 168 points to their 177.  A strong first 4 saw our Secretary first off the green with a 21-11 win, with good wins also for Mike Fagan and Paul ‘Luuv’ Makin.  The final two also finished strongly with Chris ‘the Horse’ Horsfall winning 21-9 and finally the Club Chairman, Steve James, coming away with a fine 21-14 win against  Nicky Davies. The full scorecard is set out below and some pictures on our Instagram account.

Help needed on Sunday

Posted on March 29, 2016 by iangilly66
We are intending to put up the small pavilion we brought from the Windmill this weekend on Sunday at 10am.  We need as many strong men and women to attend as possible.  Please come and help if you can otherwise we won’t get the roof on.  Help just holding things would be good.
Our new pavilion is now ready for delivery and will be put up as soon as the base is ready.  This will need treating as soon as it is erected, so again some volunteers would be really good to get it painted.  More details to follow.
