Chew Stoke Bowling Club
Big Bowls Weekend - Open Day
Saturday 24th May Chew Stoke held their Open Day as part of Bowls England's Bowls Big Weekend.
Although the weather could have been better, it remained largely dry but quite windy.
A number of members and newcomers enjoyed a cooked breakfast at the club with many claiming that they wouldn't need to eat again that day.
The clubhouse sported new colours of pink, yellow and green and several club members were available to give advice to potential new bowlers.
Being in the country and close to Chew Valley Lake we do sometimes get a visit from the local aquatic birds. And today was no exception.
Rumours that they've been signed up to play the next game are entirely fictitious.
Upcoming Fixtures
Please note the ladies fixture against Prattens on Tuesday 27 May has been cancelled.
The mens triples match against Portishead RBL on the same day has been postponed to Tuesday 5 August.
All the latest news and gossip here
A number of club members have been helping our green keeper, Martin Tibbs, get the green ready for the new season.
This culminated in a dedicated, hard working team replacing all the pebbles around the rink - one by one.
Needless to say the green is now looking in superb condition ready for the traditional season opener on 13 April - Captain's Day.
Our flag pole was also in need of some much overdue maintenance and this was taken down, cleaned and repainted.
Quiz night 5 April
Yes they've done it again............
Ali Cunningham, Carol Dyer, Andy Dyer and Martin Giles were victors in the latest club quiz night.
Their request to increase the prize money to £100,000 has so far fallen on deaf ears.
