Gentlemen
Until we move down from tier 2 into tier 1 there is nothing to report, once there is a movement down, we will have a meeting to discuss a way forward for what will be left of the 2020/21 indoor season. Wishing all members a very happy
Christmas and a healthy and Covid free 2021

Oh what a welcome relief it was for our Club to be able to reopen on Wednesday December 2nd for Bowling and to see friendly faces for a catch up chat, albeit with restrictions and the Restaurant open for business. Sadly we aren’t able to have the proposed Friday drives yet…or the special Xmas Drive that was planned, but we look forward to some lifting of these restrictions in the New Year when we hopefully will be able to return to a new ‘normality’
It only remains for me to wish every Club Member a Peaceful and Happy Xmas and a Healthy New Year – keep safe –
and remember – Hands – Face – Space
Best wishes

Terry White
You may now be aware we said goodbye to one of our most beloved members Terry White who passed away on 4th December 2020. Terry loved his bowling and will always be remembered by his friends at the Club.
We send our condolences to Greer and the family at this sad time.
We remember all our friends who have passed away this year and hope that 2021 will be a happier and more prosperous time for all of us.
God Bless.
