Message from the Chairman

Good morning everyone,

It’s nice to see some sunshine at last. I was at the club last weekend and the green looks in magnificent shape as Shaun, Kevin and the team prepare it for the new season.

May I remind you that we are scheduled to have a club meeting on Sunday 17th March starting at 10.30 am, for all bowling and social members of our club. We will provide updates on Finance, Key Dates for your diary, Social Events, Bowling Matters and Club Support.

The clubhouse will be open from 9.45 am on 17th and Christine and the team will be serving bacon rolls and tea/coffee prior to the meeting.

Following the main meeting there will be a short break before a Men’s section bowling meeting, where Shaun will outline plans for the new season.

Please make every effort to attend.

Best Regards

Ian

News from the Clubhouse

Dear Member

Just a quick update ahead of our Spring meeting on the 17th March which hopefully you will be able to attend.

When you come into your Clubhouse, you will find that thanks to the generosity of one of our sponsors, Martin Biles, the pipe on the left-hand wall has been boxed in. Furthermore, the clubhouse has had a lick of paint. We hope to further spruce up the clubhouse by renewing the curtains in the near future.

We have also procured a new iPad for the bar and I have to say it’s a pleasure to use.

I have, in response to requests, now added London Pride and Guinness Zero to the bar stock. In addition, I have changed both Rio and Apple tango to the lighter versions. If you have any thoughts of other lines we could put on or perhaps a different flavour of a drink we already stock please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes

Tony

From the Chairman – Our Green

Easyfundraising Initiative

Dear Member
The current Committee are keen to implement a management plan that will see the Club
move towards financial sustainability, exploring all potential income streams, whilst driving
down operating costs where possible.
To that end, we have now registered with easyfundraising, which means you can help us
generate income for FREE. The scheme has raised significant sums of moneys for clubs and
community groups over the years. There are excellent examples of local clubs that have
raised thousands through donations triggered by their members, families and wider
supporters.
Over 7,000 brands will donate to us when you use easyfundraising to shop with them – at
no extra cost to yourself! A quick review of the qualifying brands will reveal an extensive list
of recognised brands, covering a wide range of services. All you need to do is sign up and
remember to use easyfundraising whenever you shop online. It’s easy and completely FREE!
For those who make use of weekly online grocery deliveries, your cumulative donations
provided by the various supermarket chains could alone raise a reasonable amount of
income. These donations really mount up, so please sign up to support us at:

  https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk

In summary, the scheme is best presented by the video, featuring Erdington Court Bowls
Club, found HERE

Please give your support to this initiative.
