Friendlies
Usually18 ends
(depending on the time & our guests' requirements)
Friendlies are a very important part of our club which we hope every bowler will participate in. They are the club’s main money earner as touring clubs not only pay for using our greens but they also generate income from the bar and refreshments.
This extra income allows us to keep our bowling membership fees lower than otherwise would be the case.
Friendly games are a wonderful opportunity to play in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure on you “failing” your team - it really doesn’t matter, just enjoy the game. So whether you are an inexperienced player who has been "certified" by the coaches as ready to play, or a player who does not want to play very competitively, then this is the ideal category of games to apply for. The Selectors will try their best to place you in a position which you enjoy and feel comfortable in, or a position you want to try and learn more about. There are a few “away” Friendlies, when players can be transported by our designated drivers.
Refreshments provided – Person in charge – See Captain of the Day on each sheet.
FOUR - 4 players, 2 woods per player;
TRIPLE – 3 players, 3 woods each
