Greens
As you will know the greens suffered from the dry weather last season. Your club has spent time and money on the Greens at the end of last season and in the last two months. Please respect any notices you see and keep to the directions and markers specified for the day you are playing; this will help the greenkeeper with the green. These instructions are displayed on the noticeboard outside the Pavillion.
Towards the end of last season, your Club purchased a new lawnmower which has a verticutter attachment. This has already been used on the green and will continue to be used throughout the season. The aim is to get on top of the moss and weeds and give the grass space to grow. We may also need to close a green after this operation is carried out to help the green recover.

Thank you to the members who have been busy tidying up the clubhouse storage area and other areas of the changing rooms. They have found that we have too many bowls and we are planning to sensibly dispose of them. The sets of bowls we are planning to dispose of are being stored in the men's changing room.
If you are storing bowls at the club for any reason please check they are not in the men's changing room on or before the Club Open Day (Sunday 28th April).
We will clear the Men's changing room of bowls after that date.
