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 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.

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.​​

​

Bowlers on Tour were our next tourist opponents and  once again were welcomed onto  the green in bright sunshine on the  4th May. This time, however, Ventnor came second to a losing score of 126 - 106. The opposition were an almalgamation of several clubs with one or two very good players included! Again though, very good company and a great afternoon was enjoyed by all. Ventnors winning rink - ie  'best scoring rink' was Sandra Adkins, Rowan Bayliss, Roger Balmont and Steve Gallop - well done!. After the game, a good raffle was held by Glen, and a busy bar run by John Walker was well patronised. A big thanks to all the helpers from the Club on the day.

​​

Picked another sunny day for Waveney Bowls Club to visit us., Actually they were an almagamation of several clubs, and at an an unusual time and day too - Saturday 31st May at 10.am. We never have Tourist games on a Saturday due to league matches and morning matches are rare too. Anyway, we lost! with the visitors gaining 118 points to Ventnors 95. It was a great morning in good company and as usual, a fine raffle was organized by Glen. A big thenks to all that helped on the day in with various duties. We did have, as usual, a winning rink and well done to Glen Cox, Colin Nigh, Cherie Earle and Ben Scutt. There were some awards for the worst losing rink but we havn't time to discuss that now.
