The Section has a strong reputation within the Club for its comprehensive social programme which runs throughout the year. These are relaxed fun occasions with a variety of themes including BBQs, fish & chips etc after internal competitions, music nights, Quiz nights, Christmas party, competitions awards evening, pre-season lunch, race nights, and pub/board games. These social events are open to all bowling members to participate in and a strong following of Club Social members who regularly come along to support the bowlers.
Getting involved with managing the Section and influencing how it develops is easy. The Section is steered by the Bowls Subcommittee which is made up of the Chair, Secretary, Team Captains, Green Liaison Officer, Competition Secretary, and Welfare Officer. These are all voluntary roles open to all members of the Section and are elected/re-elected at the AGM a held in September. All members are encouraged to support the Subcommittee by participating in the playing and social opportunities, welcoming and supporting new members, helping out with events and coming up with ideas for new ones.
