It is with great sadness that I have to report the recent passing of Alan Boyt.

Although Alan was not seen at the club very often in the last couple of years, he was an active bowler and popular member of the club. His last accolade was as part of the winning Autumn Triples team in 2021.

Alan's funeral will take place at 2.30pm on Thursday 1st August at Bournemouth Crematorium.

Alan will be very much missed by members and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.

Further details of Alan's funeral will be posted when known.

Kindest regards,

The Bowls Equipment Shed key has now been returned and is back on it's hook in the clubhouse. Hopefully, it won't happen again. Apologies are due to Hillary Edge and Lee Croad who could not play their 2 Wood Singles match on Friday evening.

Debbie Perryman is a member of the Spanish International Bowls team who will be playing in the European Championships being played in September at Ayr, in Scotland, on grass. Debbie is staying with our Carol Brooomfield, who is the Assistant Manager to the Spanish International Bowls team, from July 4th to July 9th. Debbie has never played on grass before and needs get up to speed with practice on this surface. The Club's Management Committee has given Debbie permission to use our green for practice provided that a temporary membership form is completed and that she is accompanied by a fully paid up member at all times. Her practice times to be fitted around any arranged games using vacant rinks, dates and times. For this, Debbie will be invited to make a donation to the club.

If any member fancies practising with an International Player, to give Debbie some opposition and experience of match play on grass, please contact Carol Broomfield on 07511 981120 or email (go to Members Contact List for address) to arrange dates and times.
