Mallinsons began on site today and have started by stripping the existing turf. A dilapidation survey has been undertaken from the cricket club entrance and around the site to ensure that any damage can be re-instated.

Start Date for New Greens

Posted on October 15, 2015 by iangilly66

The pre-commencement meeting was held today with Mallinsons, who have been selected to construct the bowling greens.  The good news is that they will be able to start on site on 2nd November and completion of the works is expected to be in early January.  It is great that we are finally moving on this project. Once works start we will post pictures and keep you updated on this website and through our Facebook page and Twitter feeds.

Waterloo

Posted on August 30, 2015 by iangilly66

The Waterloo finals day is on Wed 16th September.  I have already acquired 4 free tickets (worth £15 each for seating) off the sponsors Co-op Funeralcare for the Windmill BC.  If anyone is interested in going for a full day of bowling, betting & possibly a drink or two, then please let me know and I will see if I can get my hands on any further free tickets.  You also get the chance of being on TV as it is being broadcast live this year on ITV4. Contact Ian Gill for more details
