MARLOW BOWLS CLUB Clubhouse 01628 485274

                        We are now up and running and needless to say the weather has played a significant part so far, our first match at home to Princes Risborough, some say, should not have been played. Certainly prior to the start the conditions did not look great with loads of rain beforehand. But as soon as we started playing the clouds broke and apart from one brief shower play continued without a hitch and vindicated John Henniker's decision to play the match.

                                     Our home match against Oxford last Saturday was called off by Oxford which was a big disappointment for our players, but the match at Burnham the following day went ahead and we came away with a tidy victory, and President Tim Hyde getting top rink.

The weather is clearly not helping bowls right now so please be careful when you are on the green, remember to take special care as the conditions remain soft and delicate underfoot, for both your own safety and the state of the green.

As you will know the Open Days for new bowlers takes place on Friday May 11th in the evening and Sunday May 13th in the morning, we hope to get plenty of newcomers down for those two dates.

The Friday session starts at 6pm and Sunday 10am.

The newcomers to Marlow exceeded 35 in 2011, a brilliant record-breaking effort and testament to what Marlow is all about and perhaps an indication that outdoor bowls and short mat bowls at Marlow has plenty to offer ! 
Well done to the Short Mat finalists last weekend, details can be found on the Noticeboard page.
