As we look towards the start of our playing season in April activities at the Club continue throughout the winter season. Whilst always keeping an eye on the state of the green in preparation for the new season we also have to maintain and improve the other facilities at the Club.
Having completed the relaying of the pavement alongside the St. Saviours churchyard side before the new year our focus has now turned to some internal works. In keeping with the progress made in building new changing rooms in 2021, extending the Clubroom and upgrading the decorations in 2023 work started on a complete refurbishment of the toilet facilities. Having included in the new changing room work an accessible toilet it was felt timely to upgrade the old toilet facilities and work will be completed before the start of the bowling season in April.
The social side of Tetbury Bowls Club life continues during the winter months. In December we enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner, which was enjoyed by 30 members, along with the annual Christmas raffle. A big thank you to those that prepared and cooked what was a lovely meal.
Now that we are into the New Year we revert to our normal pattern of social events that take place on Friday nights. Members enjoy quizzes, bingo and new to the social calendar will be games of “Open The Box” and “Play Your Cards Right”.
Some dates for your calendars: Our outdoor season will start with the traditional Opening Gala on 13 April followed by a whole list of league and friendly matches. For those readers that are considering trying bowls we have a number of dates where we will be encouraging members of the public to give lawn bowls a try. Dates will be advertised in this magazine during April but an early heads up are open days on 11 May, 1 June, 21 June and 20 July. In addition we will be supporting Bowls England’s national “Big Bowls Weekend” at the end of May.
We will be continuing the after school short mat bowls at St. Mary’s Primary School details of which are circulated by the school.
