August Newsletter
Malmesbury Bowls and Social Club
We are saddened to hear that Mike Trimble had passed away suddenly last week. As a member commented “one of the greats”. We propose to hold a Boxing Day game in his memory. Please pass this information on to any member you know of, without access to the Bowls Club Website or Facebook.
His funeral will be on Thursday 9 September 2021 at 11:00 at Wootton Basset crematorium.
We will be thinking of Ann and the family and friends at this time of such a sad loss.
Competitions
It is wonderful to see huge numbers of members signed up for club competitions. However, this does result in a very tight schedule. Please keep checking the boards and website, liaising and arranging as shown. A key to the equipment shed will be placed in the smaller shed so that the competition kit can be accessed.
Communication
In addition to checking the club website and Facebook page regularly, it is now possible to access the clubhouse more frequently. Weekend games continue for many weeks yet, Thursday triples, Friday socials, and evening competition dates will see the bar in use. The sheets are up for friendlies throughout September. You can still sign up for friendlies via Derek if you can’t get your name on a clubhouse list: maryderek@btinternet.com 01666 823482
Note that a buffet tea will be provided after the game on Tuesday 31 September 2021.
Bingo
This will start on Saturday 11 September at 8.00 p.m. Members only.
