Newark Town Bowls & Social Club
June Newsletter
As the lockdown is slowly being eased the club has responded and started a limited resumption of bowling from 1st June. We are being cautious in the first instance, and have followed guidelines from Bowls England to initially open one rink. Access is via a telephone booking system kindly being provided by our Club Captain, Tony Murphy, on 07702 307228. The club house, including the toilets, remain closed. Details of this have already been provided to bowling members via a special newsletter.
Social distancing requirements mean there remains little chance of any competitive bowling resuming this season and all league matches have been cancelled in the NDL and LCBC. I have no information on the TVL but can only assume this is the same. On a wider front it would seem that some clubs are not opening at all and some, like us, only opening for social bowling under strict rules.
The committee continues to meet “virtually” on a regular basis. They have made the decision that, looking ahead, it would be virtually impossible to hold a normal AGM on the 6th September as previously agreed. The meeting has therefore been postponed until later in the year when the situation in place then will be reviewed to consider the best course of action.
In the “100 club” the winners for May were No.62 Marie Calvert and No.76 Kevin Clayton. Both winners have been notified & cheques arranged.
July is the last draw in the current club which runs for a year and we invite you to renew your annual “100 club” membership payment before July 12th please as the 1st draw of 2020-2021 is in August
The cost is £12 per number. Payment can be made, ideally by Bank Transfer to TSB Bank—Sort Code 30-95-88 A/C number 00988882 & in the reference box enter your name & 100 club payment. Alternatively, it can be posted to Brenda Wright,11 Marron Court, Fernwood, Newark NG243WT, or left in the Club post-box on the LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE GATE.
IF you decide not to support the Club by re-joining please inform Brenda on
01636 708785 or 07806 755603 so that we can fill in the gaps with new members and maximise the benefit to the club in these trying financial times.
Good well wishes for a speedy recovery have been sent on behalf of the Club to Marie Calvert who has had an accident, & is in hospital.
Finally, some of you may know the club now has a flagpole! We therefore need a club flag. Let me, or anyone on the committee have your suggestions for a flag design. It must incorporate our full name “Newark Town Bowls & Social Club”.
Until next month, stay safe and if you do venture out for a practice, enjoy your bowling.
Kind regards
