Friday morning Beginners & Improvers’ Pairs Leagues

Anyone who is new to league bowling, or has been playing for less that two years in leagues is welcome to join this league. We are also looking for experienced players who have yet to win a league or Championship to join this league by partnering up with any new bowlers who wish to join the league. This will be an Aussie Pairs (2-4-2) league as this format gives players more chance to experience all aspects of the game. The league will run for 14 weeks from September to Christmas and then restart with a new league in January (to give late starters a chance to join or for people to change partners or drop out they so wish). League sign up sheets are on the board.

This league has now started for Autumn and runs to Christmas. It restarts with fresh teams in January so a sheet will go up in December for anyone wanting to join this league for the January to April games

Club Teams

All full members are invited to nominate themselves for any of the club teams. Lists are up for the Men’s Saturday teams and the Men’s Over 55 teams as well as to play for the County in various matches (see respective boards). Ladies team lists go up a couple of weeks before each game.

Nomination sheets are also up for the Denny, Egham and Top Club teams which are all National competitions

Men’s A Team Captain

The club is seeking someone to take on the role of Men’s A team captain. Paul Footitt with the help of James Baxter are covering the role as an interim measure. Anyone interested should speak to Paul or leave a message for him in the office.
