Note From Gary & Leslie Owen

Dear Martin and West End Bowls Club,
We would just like to convey a massive thank you for the use of facilities and the greens in July for the Tear Drop Trophy Charity Day ..... it was a great success and we raised just over £2000.00 ... we hope this event can continue in future years at Derby West End Bowls Club.
Also a massive thanks goes to Len Parker for opening the bar and we hope that it was profitable for the club.
Again many thanks goes out to all that got involved and donated to Bloodwise, a charity close to our hearts and to many friends.

9th Aug was the final of the Derbyshire BE Team championship at Long Eaton, who narrowly beat us by 3 shots.

The Derbyshire Bowls England League finished in the same week, Stute are champions by 1 point, with Long Eaton A in 2nd Place. DWEBC were third for the 2nd year running.

The Federation League is nearly finished, with DWEBC in a strong position to win the league but it depends on other results.

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 will be displayed on the noticeboard outside the Pavillion.

As we are now over half way through the season and only one event that will use both greens is left in the calendar we are starting to talk the greenkeeper about how we can improve the green for next season. If you are in a position to help in any way please contact Bernie.

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.
