Wednesday evening @ 19.00, July 9th, NB Earlier Start Time the club will organise its next monthly teams event.

These are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month (ie the following one will be Aug 13th).

A team is made up of 4 players playing together as 2 pairs. There are some differences to the scoring method, and therefore the best tactics - but if you are unfamiliar with the format don't worry, just play your usual game ! 

There is no obligation to play every month. Normal table money of £7 will apply for members, £10 for visitors.

The details of how things are organised on the night will depend on the number of teams taking part.

There is free street parking (so do not use the bowls club car park) and the bar will be open throughout.

I want to encourage less experienced players to have a go

so don't just ignore this because you're not sure what's involved !

For the moment my focus is on gathering names and  helping arrange everyone into teams of four
