Nearly the start of the bowling season!! Fingers crossed for some good weather this week to get some good practise in for next week!
Join us for a day of bowls competition as well as other mini games to start the season off with a bang. Use the day for practise on the green or just a social day with friends to start the bowling summer.
The games start at 10am, and over the day there will be:
Refreshments & hot food will be served all day, as well as the bar opening at 11am. Come along and have some fun. just pray for the sun! For any more information, contact Mel Hobson or Adam Blackwell, or visit the Good Friday Fun Day page.
We’re just looking for a few spare pairs of hands to help get the green and the surrounding paths tidy ready for the season. We won’t need lots of people, but the more we get the quicker we’ll get it done! Copious amounts of free tea, coffee and biscuits for all helpers!
On Sunday 1st April, MBC will host the first annual ‘Burkhill Shield’, in memory of Steve Burkhill. Steve was a very well respected and valued member of our club, and held various positions within MBC. He sadly died very suddenly at the end of 2016, at the age of 58, and is missed by all.
Bowling starts at 9.30am, with hot food available all day. The bar will also open at 11am. The competition is approved by SYCGBA.
