MBC Bowls Committee

MBC Shares

The support we get from our membership is always something we are rightfully proud of and helps motivate the MBC team to continue working hard for all our benefits.
Thank you all for that, and for the good response to the 2024 reduced membership subscription scheme that was run through January and February.
Some of our newer and existing full members might not be aware that another way to support the ongoing financial success of MBC and get a reduced membership subscription, and that is through purchasing a share in MBC.
Shareholder members currently receive a £20 discount on their annual fees so the payback on their investment is relatively short timewise.

Each share is priced at £125 and there are currently still 560 shares available for purchase from the capital share issue from back in 2011. We would also like to inform anyone potentially considering this that we can now offer a payment by instalments option, with agreed flexible payments leading to share issue on completion of payment.
If any full member is interested in becoming a shareholder or those wishing further purchase of shares, please speak to any of the Board Members who will be happy to discuss this further with you.

Thanks very much for your time, all the best!

2024 Bowls Section Annual General Meeting

2024 Bowls Section Annual General Meeting – Tuesday 5th March @ 8pm
For members of the bowls section, a full attendance would be appreciated, please try your best to be in attendance.

2024 Membership Update

Just a gentle reminder that time is running out to secure your £10 discount for members & new members paying subscriptions in January.

The discount will reduce to £5 in February.

Many thanks to those of you that have taken advantage of the offer already. If you know of club mates that haven’t paid as yet, please help by making them aware of this reminder.

Your support as always is much appreciated!

Barbara Woodhead

Many of you will know by now the sad news about Barbara Woodhead who passed away just before Christmas. Apologies to those that don’t but as is always the case in these sad updates we are led entirely by family wishes, so word has been passed quietly as and when people could be informed.

However we would like to pass on a message from Frank and his family, that they would like to see as many people as possible at a celebration of Barbara’s life and share some of the wonderful memories that you’ll know doubt have.

This will be held on Saturday 20th January from 2pm at:
The Shepley Spitfire
Mickley Lane
Totley
S17 4HE

Our Barb was a true force of nature, who has been a mother figure, and great friend to many over the years at all the clubs she was associated with, and the various County sides she’s travelled with and supported. It would be great if you can share some love and memories with Frank and the family on the day.

God bless you Barb, from all at MBC XX

Joe Martin

All at MBC will be saddened to learn that Joe Martin passed away on the 7th of December. Joe was a valued member at MBC for many years, and although no longer a member of any teams, would still come down for the occasional roll up during the summer afternoons. Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with Joe’s family and friends.

Funeral details as follows:

City Road

15th of January at 2:30pm
