What's happening soon
It doesn't happen often but we have some closures of the green because of special events:
Friday June 20th: Northumberland v. Durham
The match begins at 1.30pm. This is a ladies county match so bowling will be of a high standard; come along to watch. The green will be closed all morning for preparation so it looks its best; open again in the late afternoon and evening.
We have invited children and staff from Hexham Middle School to try out bowls from 9.00am-3.00pm on Monday 23rd and 9.00am-3.00pm on Tuesday 24th June. The green will be closed for general play at these times.
Jumbles takes place on Saturday 7th at 1.45 for 2.00pm. £1 entry fee. 32 members played in it on 31st including half a dozen new members.
Monday afternoon and Friday morning roll-ups - all welcome!
at 2.00pm Mondays and 11.15am Fridays for a friendly roll-up or game, help support and encourage each other, and get some practice at the same time. For those wanting it we can help with understanding the different roles of a lead, second and skip; marking, scoring and measuring, techniques, tactics etc - all done with no pressure and loads of help. If the thought of joining in at Jumbles on a Saturday afternoon fills you with dread then this is for you. Tea and biscuits afterwards. Note: we won't be meeting if there is a tournament being played on Mondays - usually on bank holidays - or Fridays. We will not be meeting on Friday 20th or Monday 23rd - see details above.
