Every year [with the exception of the CV19 years] Plymstock Bowling Club have had an OPEN DAY. The aim being encourage people, who are not as active as they would like to be, to come and try Lawn Bowling and if they like the sport, to join our club.

This year we are also encouraging people, who may be inactive through the winter months, or may be on their own, to come and experience Short Mat Indoor Bowling at our club.

On the 27th May, after people have enjoyed the bowling experience there will be a running a BBQ in our recently opened outside seating area.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy refreshments and a drink from our “fully stocked” Bar.

We ask that visitors bring a pair of flat soled shoes/trainers, to assist in protecting the green.

BOWLING GUIDE DOGS

Plymstock Bowling Club Saturday Evening Quiz Night, on 24th July, got off to an unquestionable great start.

Vera Price, Club Captain for the 2019-2020 Bowls Season presented a cheque for £3100.00 to representatives of Guide Dogs for The Blind.

The sum of money, donated by Club Members and friends, was even more appreciated by GDFTB as it was collected when the club had very little playing time, or fund-raising events due to Covid-19 restrictions.

GREEN MARSHAL WALKS TO VIRTUAL SUCCESS

VIRTUAL PLYMOUTH TO LANDS END WALK RAISES £1800.00.

 

 

In response to St Luke’s Hospice “Landmark Challenge” to take a “Virtual Walk” from Plymouth to Land’s End and back, Plymstock Bowling Club’s Green Marshall, John Hornsby, decided to give it a go.

 

Whilst the challenge was initiated by St. Luke’s Hospice as a virtual walk to raise funds, John wanted to raise money to help St. Luke’s Hospice and Motor Neurone Disease Charities in memory of Steve Foster and Roger Martin, two members of the club who had recently passed away.

 

John walk around Elburton and other areas local to him and within the Covid-19 guidelines, clocking up the distance to simulate walking to Land’s End and back.

 

John has now completed both legs of the challenge and has raised a total of £1800.00, which he is splitting between the two charities.

 

John expressed his appreciation to the members of Plymstock Bowling Club and others for their amazing and heart-warming support in enabling him to reach such a target, which was way in excess of the amount he had anticipated.
