Everyone at MBC is greatly saddened to hear that Brian Dickinson has passed away this week after a short illness.

Cheers! Hope to see you there!
Apologies it’s been a while since we have updated you with any news but here are some recent events to inform you about.
Firstly many congratulations to Jack Clarke, Andy Sorsby and Chris Kelly who successfully defended their South Yorkshire Triples title for an incredible 3rd time in a row. A wonderful achievement on a superb tricky Carlton Bowling Club in Barnsley!
Jack and Andy were also worthy winners once more, of the South Yorkshire Gents Pairs, again on a great tricky green in Barnsley at Barnsley Central.
In an all MBC final, Andy Whittaker was victorious in the South Yorkshire Handicap at an excellent Denaby, against team mate Ian Christopherson. Well done and congratulations to Bliv!
MBC ‘A’ were proud winners once more of the Sheffield Parks Ibbotson Doubles trophy against a very capable Catcliffe team at Laycocks. Catcliffe battled all the way as expected, and the victory was hard earned by MBC on a challenging and difficult green. Skipper Andy Sorsby proudly holds the prestigious trophy and is pictured with the rest of the team and competition sponsor Mike Ibbotson. Worth a mention here that the Ibbotson family have been sponsoring this competition for an amazing 90 years! Started by Mike’s Grandfather, this is believed to be the longest running continuous sponsorship in sport in the UK and potentially further afield.
In a further MBC success, victors in the Sheffield Parks Ladies Doubles Merit at Crookesmoor were Andrea Ainley and Lisa Christopherson. As we know, Andrea is a seasoned and successful competition bowler but this was Lisa’s first competition success! Well done Ladies! Unfortunately we don’t have a photo of them to share with you but if one is forthcoming we’ll share it with you.
Thanks everyone! Up The Club!

We will clarify this as we get more guidance from the next Government announcement.
The following initial opening times will apply:
Monday to Thursday: 7pm to 10pm last orders
Friday: 7pm to 10:30pm last orders
Saturday: 1pm to 10:30pm last orders
