Weekly Bulletin 19th May

Published: Sunday, 19 May 2024 07:10
Sadly, the game on the 31st May, against the Timber Trundlers, has been cancelled as they wanted a full six rink game and we were unable to accommodate that for various reasons.
 
Fordingbridge Bowling Club have recently had 8 solar panels installed on their clubhouse roof.
Barry Vaughan, having spoken to some of their members, noted that the cost of the installation at Fordingbridge is similar to what Ringwood BC we will be paying. However, in our case we will have a battery storage system and 16 solar panels for the same price.
The Council meeting to approve the work, at our club, will take place at the Forest Suite on Wednesday 22nd May at 7pm, for any members who wish to attend. The Ringwood Town Clerk has recommended acceptance of the proposal.
 
Somebody 'accidentally' took Barry Vaughan's bowls jumper from the rails, at the end of rink 2, on Saturday. That person is forgiven if they return it.
 
The 50/50 Club was drawn by a member of Milford on Sea club and the lucky winner is Peter Smith, number 13. Well done Peter, see you at the Bar.
