The club’s Blue Riband Pairs internal event has been won by a pair of social bowlers who have only recently started playing in the club’s teams but managed to see off challenges from four other combinations which mixed some of the club’s best team bowlers with, in some cases, very new members of Joyce Godfrey’s invaluable social sessions.
Bob Burns, who has only played five league matches since taking up the game this May and Mick Owen who came through the social programme into the fringes of the Tuesday B team last year, won a round robin 7-Up competition which saw Maureen Douglas and John Bouchier in the silver medal slot with absolute tyro Paul Marsh partnering Dave Twigg to a creditable third.
Mick told waiting media representatives: “While it may have been a modest field, Bob and I will not be modest about our win. It’s a shame more people didn’t enter but only because they missed out on a fun and sociable morning. I’m really grateful to the people who did support the event and, of course, Joyce who was a tower of strength in her off-green role.”
Our next social event is the K.Dodd Shield End of Season Triples

We facilitated a Team Building event at Manor Park earlier today between 2 local employers – Madisson Clarke a claims management company and Jack Badger a team of traditional joiners. Both teams had a great time with Jack Badger ending up the winners 77 – 53.
Pictured above left to right are Darren from Maddison Clarke, Ben from Jack Badger and Neal, Manor Park Bowling Club.
As the weather improves it’s time to be thinking of getting outside and a very nice way to spend some time in the fresh air with purpose and company is Crown Green Bowling. Everyone is welcome and we especially welcome anyone experiencing problems with their mental health. If you would like to discuss anything or find out more about the sessions you will find Mick’s contact details on the poster below.
Regrettably, due to the weather we are having to cancel the Big Bowls event that was due to take place on Sunday 26th May.
The club is always happy for members of the public to turn up to try bowls on our Sunday and Tuesday social bowling sessions which take place between 10 – 11.30 am
