Ormskirk Bowling Club

Last night our Ormskirk League team secured a stunning away win on the notorious Asmall House green.  We had five winners, with Steve taking the scalp of Geoff Bixter.  We took the aggregate by a significant margin, by 181 to 153 points.  This is the first League victory for the new Club.

Due to the fact that our new green won’t be ready for next week our first home fixture will no longer be at home to Aughton Town Green on Tuesday coming.  We are pencilling in the first home game as Wednesday 20th April as potentially the first home fixture (where Ormskirk ‘B’ play MCA Ladies), but this could be subject to change. Not only will the carpet need fitting, but also the path completing so we don’t tread dirt all over it.  If you play for a team keep an eye out from communication from your captain.

The fixture this coming Tuesday will be reversed and will be played at Asmall House.  The Ormskirk ‘A’ fixture on Wednesday next week will be played at the Halton Castle, as they have kindly lent us their green.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
