Weatherwise it was a great night it started off sunny and mild but an hour into the game you needed your jackets to keep the chill out. It was good to see our youngest members playing tonight and enjoying themselves. We had a fantastic roll up tonight with all 30 teams playing and no forfeits. Thank you to the people who come along and want to play and be prepared to fill in where necessary.

MILLICENT BOWLING CLUB NIGHT OWLS 6^th November 2024

Well here we are at the start of competition for season 2024/25 with 15 rinks using all 3 Greens.

We thought we had everything organized and everything in place with an extra three new teams but then on the starting night one team unfortunately had to withdraw so we are still looking for an extra four players to stop a forfeit each week. We will try to do our best and come up with a few extra players to fill the gap. If you know of any players who would like a friendly game please come along on a Wednesday night just before six o’clock in the evening.
