Please note
Finally a note to all bowlers that you must get your entries in for the Championships by this coming Sunday 23rd December by putting your names on the list in the NSC Bowls Hall.
On a personal note I would like to see a bigger entry for the Ladies Singles this year as I have been very impressed by the standard of bowling from our Ladies this season so far and if it is at all possible to fit it in I think it would be great to see an Open Singles League started next season in which I think that some of the Ladies would do very well against the Men.
