HELLO 2026!

Here we go again. Happy New Year everyone. As usual a quiet period for bowlers over Christmas and the New Year. Sadly the normal quiet weather at this time of year didn't materialise and the traditional Boxing Day roll up with food and drink afterwards had to be postponed due to rain. However , no problem, we just moved it to a lovely sunny New Years Day! An excellent turnout saw most enjoy around 12 ends of bowls though a few persevered for the full 18! A fantastic spread of food and drink afterwards, mostly generously supplied by the Club Captain Stewart Beattie. As you can see from the photos a relaxed dress code was encouraged! Can you spot the difference between the two photos?

The League season well underway again , full results under the individual team names on this website but the Knights continue to top the Northern League, with the Templars now in 3rd and the Cavaliers 7th. The Winter League squad up to 5th following a great 6-4 win over second in the league Quesada BC. COME ON EL CID!
