As a reminder we also have a Facebook page and we have a Facebook group that you can request to join.

Marstons pub company are looking to sell the Halton Castle in Westhead (near Ormskirk) and, because they want to sell it with vacant possession,  they are giving the bowling club notice to quit.  We should all get behind the Halton Castle Bowling Club (particularly as they have supported us with funding for our new pavilion) and make our displeasure known via the press and social media to Marstons.  It would be a real shame to lose yet another green locally.

The British Crown Green Bowling Association (BCGBA) today launched its new website http://www.bcgba.org.uk . Take a look, although it is still a work in progress.  You can also follow the BCGBA on twitter and facebook.

The small pavilion at the Windmill was dismantled this afternoon. At one stage it was looking a bit dicey as to whether it would come down but Frank from Mallinsons came and saved the day. Big thanks to those that helped – Mike Needham, Ken & David Knowles, Steve James, Ian Gill, and (latterly when most of the work had been done) Steve Denning. Special thanks to Frank Garner from Mallinsons.It will be transported to the Cricket Club tomorrow.  Anyone available to put the shed segments on the vehicle at 12.30 is more than welcome at the Windmill.

Now the weather has improved progress is speeding up. The bases for the paths have been laid with the exception of the cricket club side. The base has also been put in for the pavilion that we are bringing from the Windmill.  All the earth needed has been put on the grass green and the sand needs spreading and working in.
