We now have our own letterbox, thank you for yet another job done, it is appreciated Martin.

Whilst we haven’t moved we now have our own postal address.

Calne Bowls Club

off Hillcroft

Anchor Road

CALNE

SN11 8DX

Having now received all the documentation, we can now confirm that with effect 30th March 2020 Calne Bowls Club has become a Private Limited Company by guarantee, with Barry W as a Director and Stuart as Company Secretary, all members have been informed and also told the reasoning behind the change, namely that it was needed to allow the Calne Town Council to grant us the lease for the Bowls Club and enable it to grow.

With regard to the running of the club, nothing changes as the Articles of Association allow the Directors to delegate the responsibility of running the club to the current committee.

In these times of difficulty a good news story is always welcome and the Club is now on a firmer funding for an exciting future.

To all those who are reading this, we hope that you are keeping well and always remember we are just not a club but a family who will support each other when needed.

KEEP SAFE, see you on the green eventually.

Thanks to Ley for keeping eye on the green for the members, it’s a credit to all involved thanks for the hard work, we may get a game in before the end of the season, it would be a shame to waste the effort

It was very sad today putting up the signs saying that the Club was closed until further  notice. Only greenkeeping and essential maintenance will be allowed, as this can be done by a single person.

There is spray and paper towels in the clubhouse for use to ensure areas are kept clean.

Bowls England have cancelled all National Competition and Bowls Wiltshire have cancelled all County Games until 1st July, this will be reviewed in June.

We as a club will be hoping to have Open Days later this year, whilst the Sponsors Day and Gala Day may also need to be moved to later this year

The skittles have been cancelled, however it has been moved to the club pavilion where the membership renewal will take place in, with refreshments!

Please note all membership fees are due by 1st April 2020, whilst competition entries must be made by 2nd May 2020

We are holding open days on the above dates, so why not come along and see why the sport of bowls is so enjoyable.

Gates open at 10.00am until 3.00pm, refreshments will be available as well as helpers to show you how it all works.

For any further details please see below.

TWIT and TWOO have done a good job in keeping the pigeons off the seed, so its looking good.

Green after the first real cut of the season.

We were fortunate enough to be given a ‘new’ second hand kitchen.  As you can see Martin and Steve are hard at it – the old kitchen is out and the new one is half in.  We will have a larger working surface, along with a much larger fridge/freezer and more cupboard space. This will make all catering in the clubhouse easier

Thanks lads, it is appreciated.
