A Message From Your Captain
Dear Members,
Another busy summer season has come to an end.
We have played 22 matches against clubs in the area, plus two touring teams.
It was a great effort by members to cover fully all the games, of which we won 14 and lost 8.
We finished the summer period with two games against outside clubs Hampden Park and Saffron’s which brought together members ready for another winter period. Both were good days and it was great to see so many people having a good time together.
Our club is moving forward with your help.
Many thanks,
Peter Ring
Men’s Captain

Fundraising Tournament
What an amazing day at the club today it was buzzing. 72 bowlers entered into a tournament raising money for a very worthy local charity Children With Cancer Fund based in Polegate. It wasn’t just a day of Bowling there were other games like “How many sprouts in the jar”, “Guess the weight of the toffees in the basket” and there was a queue to play “Bagatelle”. Michelle & Jess were busy all day feeding everyone and Michael was a star at the bar.
The generosity and support of all our members (full & social) their friends and family have enabled us to raise in the region of £1000 we are still counting the pennies and will post the final figure in due course along with some more photo’s of the day. In the meantime we’ll done and thank you big time to everyone taking part and those working behind the scene. Photos below of our winners
