WE used to be called the
'Cabbage Patch', but now our green is comparable to any of those that play in
the Stamford District or the Peterborough District leagues and other
surrounding areas.
Formed in 1954, the club started off with only
three rinks next to an area that can only be described as wasteland, in the
late eighties the green was able to be extended to six rinks. A few years
later, with the aid of a lottery grant a new clubhouse was built, but there was
still the ongoing problem to be solved - the green that nobody wanted to come
and play on. The committee decided that it was time for action and called in a
well known, highly respected green keeper, under his guidance we have
transformed the green to one that everyone now wants to play on.
In fact, the President of the Northants Bowling
Federation wrote to our secretary stating
"I just wanted to say how much the team I
captain enjoyed playing on your refurbished green,
Congratulations, it was a revelation ".
We are affiliated to the Northants Bowling
Federation and have three teams playing in the Stamford & District Bowls
League and four playing in the Peterborough & District Bowls League.
Newcomers, or those who already bowl who may
wish to join us are invited to come along to our regular informal 'Roll-up' on
a Wednesday evening (May to August) from 6pm to 7.30 pm where if needed basic
tuition can be provided. Throughout the year we also organise various fund
raising activities such a race and quiz nights, along with internal
competitions.
