WE ARE OPEN!
ANOTHER GOOD DAY​
On a bright sunny day on the 19th April, everything went to plan and over 40 members and guests attended the official 'Opening of the Green'. A 'Spoon Drive' competition was organized by Johnny Walker which was won by Tanya Rinaldi - it involved a lot of cards and laughter and proved a lot of fun. Food was provided by members and a good raffle was organized by Glen and Tanya. The green is in super condition and bowled very well for this time of year. The success of the day is a good omen for the Club and proved Ventnor Bowls Club is very special.
THE CLUB GOES FROM STRENGHT TO STRENGTH​
Despites all the normal goings and comings, the Club retains a good membership. We are still fielding 4 mens teams in the coming season and several ladies teams. The men have a good showing in the Mens County Competions with a record number in entries in the various catagories - good luck to all. As mentioned before, our Club colours are admired by all and have proved very popular with the members. Don't forget you can purchase an extra shirt through the Club.​

'TASTER DAYS'​
If you are here and not a member or a player yet, this may well interest you. The Club runs a couple of 'taster days' through the summer in various forms. The two best ones are already in place and are the following:-
​
SUNDAY MAY 11th 11.00 - 4pm @ the Club
Part of the 'BIG BOWLS BASH OPEN DAY' run by Bowls England. Come along with all the Family and friends and have a go at it. You don't need anything in the way of equipment and all will be provided. And it FREE!
SUNDAY JULY 6th 12.00 - 4pm @ Ventnor Park
Part of the Ventnor Summer Festival. Come along for a very informal taste and chuck/throw/bowl a few - we will have a stall and tent for info if you need it - you will enjoy!
This is what happened last year on VENTNOR DAY:-
​
In fabulous weather, a highly successful day was held in the Park. Our Stall, a Gazebo and rink with targets and bowls, set up and run by Danny and Loretta was extremly popular with loads of adults and youngsters taking part and having a go on the 'mini rink'. Other members of the Club were on hand during the day to lend support - well done to those who bothered to turn up - shame the there were not more - same 'ol story of only the 'stalwarts' lending support.
​
"THE CLUBHOUSE"
Last winter we decided to give the clubhouse a complete revamp new toilets and vanity units were installed along with new decor. This winter our members continued the revamp under Glen's guidance, Men's and Ladies changing rooms have been re-painted along with the lounge area's and new decor added.
​​
TOURIST MATCH TALK
Last year we did a small report on the visiting Tourist Match results and we will do the samr this year. Reminding the participating players what went on and letting non attendees an idea what they missed.
Summer came to the Bowling Club a couple of months early this day and on Sunday 27th April, we hosted our first Tourist match of the season in glorious sunshine. Fleet Social Bowls Club fielded 4 rinks ( 12 players ) who, together with the Ventnor players, enjoyed a great day on the green. Unfortunatley for them, Ventnor managed a win by a narrow margin of 6 shots 65 -59. The best winning rink for Ventnor was Glen Cox, Colin Beavis and our President-Cherie Earle.The visitors were impressed by the quality of the green, commenting on that it was they best they had played on, a remarkable feat considering it is only April!. Let's hope this win is an omen for the rest.​​
