PRE-SEASON EVENTS – Thursday 17th March 2022
The first of our Pre-season activities took place today with a coaching session for new bowlers in the morning and a Thursday Muddle in the afternoon. The coaching session was attended by 9 members with two potential new members expressing an interest at the gate and promising to come down next Thursday with a view to joining the club. Geoff Jones and Alan Scorfield gave the benefit of their experience to a number of new members while others turned up to watch the proceedings. Given the glorious weather and the condition of the green this early in the season it is safe to say that everyone enjoyed the session. It was clear that new members in particular will benefit from these regular sessions and team captains can take heart that the development will be beneficial in the long run.
John Groves, Gerry Kay and Ian Jones were particularly keen to progress and a few of our regular bowlers also took the opportunity to practice, while the greenkeeper, Alan Pickering, looked on from a position of comfort. We look forward to welcoming more new members next Thursday. THURSDAY COACHING SESSIONS FOR ALL MEMBERS START AT 10am EVERY WEEK
The Thursday Muddle also got off to a good start with 13 members in attendance, though only 10 took part in matches. Among the winners on the first week were Dennis Hobson, Gillian Mobbs and Alan Scorfield, with Ron Clarke winning one and losing his second game to Alan Scorfield. Scores are kept for reference to the end of the season. Tony Hoar also won one and lost one beating Angela Scorfield in the last match of the afternoon. Some players managed two games while others made an afternoon of one tie. Muddles are to held on Monday and Thursday afternoons throughout the season and are open to all members on a “turn up and play” basis. Hopefully this will give members of all abilities the opportunity to get involved and play against players new and existing and of all standards, supporting development
