No don’t just skip this just because it says BOWLS. Read on because it may be of interest to you or your friends. Cornard Bowls Club is located in the recreation ground next to the Stevenson Centre and we have been there over thirty years. It is a small but friendly club catering for all types of bowlers, from beginners to national champions, from 13 year old to 80 plus. Coaching for beginners (and improvers) is given at no charge by qualified county coaches. Currently we have a 20-year-old who began bowling at the club when he was 13 years old and has recently had a trial for the England Under 25 team. If you start young enough you can go all the way to the top! The club competes successfully in three leagues, but also encourages “social” bowling for those not quite so competitive players. We have an active senior citizens section that operates as “a club within the club”. Operating costs are kept to a minimum (40p per session and a session often lasts all afternoon). Equipment may be purchased from The Bowls shop at 55 Bures Road. The club plays outdoors (Lawn Bowls) from end of April to September (weather permitting) and carpet Bowls on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon and on Friday evening during the winter. We are currently looking at the prospect of building a new indoor Bowling Green that would give Cornard a facility to be proud of - watch this space! If you wish to know more please contact me on (01787) 372366. Bob Nash - Cornard Bowls Club Secretary 26 June 2000 |
