WELCOME TO GODSTONE BOWLS CLUB’S NEW WEB SITE

Hopefully everyone is enjoying playing bowls again in the new season but there is definitely some confusion around regarding dress codes so I thought it needed clarification.

Friendship League

Morning and evening matches versus other clubs

Spoon drives unless advised differently.

North Downs League matches

Please note that as we can now share lifts again, if you want to play in an away game and need transport, just put ‘lift required’ against your name and it will be taken into account when picking the teams.

Club Shirts.

If any men require club shirts, please contact Gerard Moore and he will place a joint order. Margaret O’Brien is in charge of the Ladies’ shirts so contact her if you need one.

PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS VITAL TO PUT YOUR NAME DOWN IN THE MATCH BOOKS AS EARLY AS YOU CAN ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR AS WE NEED TIME TO PICK THE TEAMS . THIS TAKES TIME SO PLEASE HELP YOUR CAPTAINS

TOP TIP:

WHY NOT PUT YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK FOR ALL THE DATES YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY AND THEN JUST CROSS IT OUT IF YOU FIND ARE UNABLE TO PLAY
