New Members

I would like to extend a warm welcome to new and potential new members to the Island Bohemian Bowls Club.

 

I have been very fortunate to have been a member of this wonderful and unique bowling club for thirty years and have enjoyed every aspect of it but especially the tranquillity the Island has to offer as the sun goes down in the summer months.  Of course, the bowls is important too, from enjoying the fun games, the competitive games, to the friendly weekend games where we find the opportunity of seeing old friends and making new ones from clubs that visit us from all over the country.  We also get on a cheap, subsidised coach and visit other clubs.  Weymouth, Leamington Spa, Northampton, Gloucester to name but a few. And if we are lucky, a four-day, long April weekend tour to the west country.

 

An important part of Island life is the social aspect which can take many forms, BBQ evenings, the Island pantomime held every couple of years and written by one of our members, the cheap bar, the celebration of important dates such as the late Queens Jubilee where we had a fun day, open days where we get to share our Island with those interested in bowls and those who were just passing by and want a look, or got ‘Press Ganged’ as they tried to pass by on the lovely walks along the river tow paths.

 

So, whether you want to take up bowls as a healthy leisure activity and for the fun of it, or to join in the competitive side competing at club, league, county or national level, the ‘Island’ as we call it, is for you.

 

I hope that in becoming a member of the ‘Island’ you will enjoy whatever form of bowls that you wish to take a part in and benefit from being part of our friendly club.

 

I look forward to meeting you whether as a visitor or new member soon. 

 

Happy days
