Woodlands Park Bowls Club

**Stop Press** 

** 15 of The "Newbies" as they have affectionately become known (19 new bowlers who joined this season), had their own internal competition on Monday 2nd September. The event, which was organised by Ladies Captain Eileen and supervised by Andy Anderson and Dave Fox, was a great success. 5 games of 5 ends in a 2 wood triples format. The teams, drawn at random and played in a round robin, scoring points for a win and additional points for all ends won. Congratulations to Lawrence, Mike and Gary for the overall win and to everyone for taking part.

I gather that the "Newbies" have now issued a challenge to the "Oldies" (apologies, no offence intended, referring to length of time bowling, not age) to set up another match for them to test their skills against the more experienced players. Photos from the Newbies comp in the Gallery.

Woodlands Park Bowling Club is a vibrant community, supported by its members and keen to embrace anyone who is looking for new sport or just wants to be part of a community. Don't forget we are here all year, with both an outdoor and an indoor season, as well as regular social events. 

Anyone is welcome to join us on our Monday afternoon "roll-up" sessions at just £1 per session from 1:45pm to have a go (or another go) before deciding to join. 

Our coach Alex, will be running free coaching sessions throughout the season for all of our new members (or existing members wanting to improve any areas of their game). 

The open days proved that there are a lot of people out there who would like to take up a sport, meet potential new friends and become part of a community, something that has been sadly lacking in recent years. 

Photos from the open days can be found in the Gallery. Photos from some of our other matches and social events are there too.
