OPEN DAY – SATURDAY 30th August, 2025

Open Day has come and gone again for this season. The weather was perfect and the day was a great success.

A very big thank you to all who helped on the day, in the kitchen, setting up the tables, setting up the green, sherries and nibbles before lunch and then outside to open the greens.

This was done by Club Chairperson Tony Collins and Club Secretary, Karen Hickson.  We thanked them both for taking the opportunity to partake in this club honour.

Members then played 9 ends of 2 bowl triples to cap off the day.

Every member who lends a hand is helping to keep the rooms and outside areas in top conditions. The flowers are starting to come out now as Spring is here.
