AGM Proposal to be agreed at AGM on 29^thMarch 2019

Members are asked to note the following proposal which will be decided by a vote at the AGM on 29^thMarch which will commence at 8.00 p.m.

There are concerns that it is increasingly difficult to attract members to play in friendly games for the club.  These are a source of income for the club and as many have had to be cancelled this year, the club is at risk of losing the fixture

Please note that this year's club Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday March 29th at 8.00 p.m.

Instead of having an open forum this year where members can raise any concerns or issues they want considered at the AGM, please complete a form which you can pick up from behind the bar, but please ensure that this is given in to the office no later than 12th March.

There wil be a form on the notice board in the entrance

We regret to inform of the death of former member Alf Whiffin.

Funeral details - Monday 18th March 10.45 a.m. at Bedford Crematorium.

We regret to inform you of the death of Madeline Acland.

Our condolences to all her family and friends.

Madeline's funeral will be held at Milton Ernest Church at 2.15 p.m. and then at Bedford Crematorium at 3.15 p.m. on Wednesday, 27th March.

The wake will be held afterwards at Bedford Borough Bowls Club, all welcome.

The following was agreed and voted on at the first meeting of the Indoor Members Committee on Monday, September 18th 2017.

Any team that wishes to rearrange a league match will only be allowed to rearrange the scheduled match once.

The office will provide an alternative date, however, due to rink availability this may not always be on the same day and time as the original league match.

If both teams can arrange an alternative which is agreeable, they are welcome to do

Join the fun on Wednesday, 20th March 2019.

Draws for teams at 1.30 p.m. start at 2.00 p.m.

Dress in any combination of Red, White and Blue.

Fish and Chips available afterwards.

Tickets are £8 each, (including game and fish and chips)

Tickets are available from Chris Saunders and Rosemary Pettit.

Raffle Prizes would be appreciated.

Would bowlers please note that as many of our bowlers now request to use a white jack, these have now become the standard jack used on our indoor greens.

This is a message to all club members, both old and new, we urgently need players to fulfil our club friendly fixtures.

Please look on the club notice boards at the forthcoming matches and sign up if your are available to play.

We are struggling at the moment to get full teams together.  Cancelling games is not something we like to do, as we are likely to lose those fixtures for next season as affected clubs will not want to play us.

So
