The game starts at 8pm so be in early to get your seats. Other games on the night will include MBC Hi or Low Card and the Safe Cracker, which was been won both of the last two social nights – Amy Ainley and Natalie Drabble being the lucky £100 jackpot winners.

There are still a few boxes left in the game. £5 buy in and every box wins a prize so you definitely won’t walk away empty handed! If you want to buy in, or have any more questions, please contact Pete Tomlinson or use the contact form provided.

We hope to see as many people there as possible, always a good night.

MBC does Sport Relief 2018

On By Adam BlackwellIn General, Social1 Comment

BannerFor Sport Relief 2018, MBC will be taking part in the official Sport Relief Sweepstake – Guess Jonnie’s Steps! Guess how many steps Paralympic sprinter Jonnie Peacock will track on the Sport Relief app in one day!

For £2 per go, everyone will be given the chance to guess how many steps Jonnie accomplished in the day! The person who guesses the closest number to Jonnie’s step total is the winner – they get to keep half the cash, while the rest goes to Sport Relief to help change lives.

Just £2 could buy a test that quickly and accurately diagnoses 6 people with malaria in Malawi so they can get the right treatment, fast.

Lets help change lives today at MBC

How to enter

The official Sport Relief poster is on the end of the bar with a donations box. Simply put your name on the sheet and your guess, and put your £2 in the box! An overflow sheet will also be put on the bar for when the official sheet has filed up – there are only 30 spaces!

Please feel free to donate more than the £2 entry fee! Any extra donations will not be part of the sweepstake prize money, and will be donated to Sport Relief.

Jonnie’s official step count will be published online after 3pm on Friday 23rd March, and the winner of the sweepstake will be published online as soon as possible.

This week at MBC

On By Adam BlackwellIn This week at MBCLeave a comment

This thread will show details of what is happening at MBC, both in the clubhouse as well as on the bowling green, every week over the coming bowls season. The new notice board outside the main door to the club will also have the same information on.

By making people more aware of all the different events that MBC host, we are hoping to make the club a more accessible, sociable place for all members, friends and family, as well as opposing teams and other guests. If there is anything else you want to see on this thread and the board on the club, or have any other suggestions for changes we are making to the club, please contact Adam Blackwell.

Tommo’s MBC Super Deal

On By Adam BlackwellIn SocialLeave a comment

I’m sure everyone will agree, Pete did an amazing job with the debut of his new gameshow, Tommo’s MBC Super Deal, a few weeks ago.

It was such a huge success that it’s back on Saturday 10th March! All the boxes are now reserved and paid for, with Pete organising the prizes again for what will be a fantastic night at the club.

The game starts at 8pm so be in early to get your seats. Other games on the night will include MBC Hi or Low Card and the Safe Cracker, which was won last time out by Amy Ainley – let’s see if anyone can break the code again and win the cash!

For any questions regarding the night, please contact Pete Tomlinson or use the contact form and he will get back in touch with you.

We hope to see as many people there as possible, lets support our club!
