Hedging Our Bets

It has been a busy period for donations. Recently, one of our Members, Sue Sutcliffe, who joined the Club last summer, very kindly donated a battery powered Husqvarna extendable hedge cutter with a chainsaw attachment.

How isContinue reading “Baldachin?”

HELP NEEDED ON Wednesday 7th June 2023. All Hands to the Pumps Please. GREEN CLOSURE.

This hot dry weather is very welcome to sun-worshiping-humans but, unless the bowling greens have appropriate care, we could lose them to damage during this time. So, on Wednesday, the green maintenance team is asking for volunteers to help with crucial work on the green. CLICK HERE to read Ian’s explanation of the problem andContinue reading “HELP NEEDED ON Wednesday 7th June 2023. All Hands to the Pumps Please. GREEN CLOSURE.”
