2018 Season News

Welcome back to all our old members and a very warm welcome to all our new members.

​The outdoor season kicks off on Saturday 14th April, weather permitting, where we will enjoy an afternoon of bowls with tea & cake, and the bar will also be open.
Our first match will be on Sunday 15th April away at Stourport where we will be fielding 6 mixed rinks at 3pm.  Nomination sheets will be on the noticeboard for this and the next half a dozen or so games - please visit the club and put your name down!
Congratulations
We are certain that the whole of the bowls community would wish to congratulate Gareth and Lydia on the occasion of their marriage, and wish them many years of happiness together. 

Club News
Barbourne Bowling Club is having an Open Day on Sunday 19th August, starting at 10am and finishing around 4pm.  Everyone welcome, including non-members, to come and try your hand at bowling.

 Deju vu for the Barbourne ladies, as they retain Ladies County Double Rink trophy for the second year.
​A detailed match report will follow, but once again this was a magnificent team performance and we all send them our congratulations and thanks for doing the club so proud. 

April 2018

Just a reminder that, following the huge success of this event in January, this Friday 13th April is music night at the club when Pauline and Ken Jackson have been invited to come back and play more 40's, 50's, and 60's music using a real record player to play 78's. It should be another great evening and if you want to dress for the occasion (crepes & drapes) feel free.

Kitchen Facilities
We are delighted to announce that our kitchen will soon be fit for Masterchef, having been completely refitted and refurbished.  Although it won't be completed for our season opening on 14th April, it will be ready for our first home match on Saturday 21st April when lucky Brotherhood will be the first to sample our finest cuisine from our new facilities.  No pressure Gareth & Lydia!

Friday Evening Triples (Tommy Evans Cup)

The Friday evening triples starts in May - don't forget that it's only the best 10 scores that count.  The bar is always open and there are sandwiches or rolls on sale on Friday evenings.  Even if you don't play, just come down for a drink and a chat!  For details of timings, etc, see Club Competitions

League & Friendly Games

The Captain has asked me to clarify the situation regarding playing in the league and friendly games
It is important that if you wish to play in a particular game that you put your name down on the appropriate list in the club house and equally important that if you can’t play then you put your name down in the unavailable part.
If you have chosen to nominate to play then near the date of the game you need to see if you have been chosen to play and tick your name in order to tell the appropriate captain that you are available and will be playing.
If for any reason you have been chosen and you find you cannot play please contact the appropriate captain so somebody else can be picked and a full team can be fielded.( You can always ring the club if you cannot get down and someone will tick your name for you)
This will make the captain’s job a lot easier and will stop the last minute panic of trying to find players.
