A Place To Keep Updated

Sunday 25th May 2025

It’s been quiet!

The season is up and running and we are already three or four games in. You can see how we’re getting in by looking at the results and tables. These are current and include all matches up to Friday 23rd.

There is no match for the men next Thursday, so Campbell has asked for as many players as possible, men and women, to attend for a roll-up. I am also hoping to take a squad photograph, so please wear your club tops and greys.

Friendly match dates

Dates for this year’s friendly matches against Great Gransden and Eaton Socon have been published, and last year’s matches have been removed. The dates can be seen on the Fixtures page. You can go to the electronic selection form, or add your name to the paper form in the clubhouse.

Dates for your diary

The opening day for the club is Sunday 27th April at 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start. Get those shoulder joints oiled up and ready for the first roll-up of the season. The club will also be open on Saturday 26th at 10:00 for a clean-up. *Please* come and give a hand if you can. The sooner we get things done the sooner we can go home. The usual faces would appreciate any extra help they can get.

Jacket order updates

Price Reduction

We have reached an order quantity of 15 for the new club jacket. That means the unit cost, including delivery, has gone down to £41.33 from £46. I will be refunding the difference for those of you that have paid already, as soon as the final order is placed on the supplier.

Online Shop

The exciting news is that I have created an online shop for our kit. New players will be directed there as it will speed up the order process. You will be able to pay the supplier immediately and the kit you ordered will be delivered to an address of your choice. Just the shirts are currently shown with the jackets to follow. You can see the shop here: https://www.zapkam.com/p/club-shops/bowls/huntington-bc/

New Club Jacket

Jim will be sending out an email to all club members that he has an email address for about purchasing a new club jacket. If you do not receive that message by Monday please let me know your email address so I can pass it on to Jim for inclusion in future emails. I am looking to place the initial order this coming Friday 28th for the jacket to make sure we get the kit before the start of the season.
