Due to the poor weather throughout March and April
causing waterlogging of the greens, the Derby University greens staff have been
unable to carry out much of their pre-season maintenance work on the greens.

THE CLUBHOUSE AND BUILDINGS WILL BE CLOSED FROM MONDAY 30th APRIL AND

It is unfortunate, but the weather always dictates our
game, and the above timescale of works will obviously still be dependent upon
the weather.

For and on behalf of the Management Committee
Secretary, Derby West End Bowls Club
Yours sincerely Martin Barke
