CLUB MIXED FOURS
On Sunday 27th April we held our club mixed fours tournament. Not a great turnout unfortunately (clearly Liverpool winning the Premier League was a bigger attraction) but 3 teams competed in a round robin and then a grand final. The winning team was Dave Lattimore, Bryan Elliott, Robert Thomson, and Bea Liu who won as much as having the greater stamina as much as anything else. Gallant runners-up were Steve Goulding, Chris Butler, Graham Lloyd, and Denise Harvey. Well played everyone

SOUTHPORT LADIES REPRESENTING LANCASHIRE
On Wednesday 30th April, 9 of our ladies represented Lancashire against Yorkshire at Bolton. Well done to them all, especially Debbie who appeared on one of the 3 winning Lancashire rinks. Yorkshire won a well contested game but a good time was had by all. The ladies who played are Viv Carroll, Shirley Lattimore, Denise Harvey, Jennifer McGovern, Rowan Miltenburg, Maureen Adamson, Debbie Bloodworth, Liz McDermott, and Jane Baker.

NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
On Friday 2nd May we travel to Heaton Hall, Manchester for the next round of the Bowls Lancashire League. Suffice to say that we need some good victories to start pushing us up the table - the last round in Southport saw some very closely contested games but, unfortunately we lost them all.
On Saturday 10th May we hosted the Bowls Lancashire Ivy Martin Ballotted Pairs competition for the Lancashire ladies.

EVERY THURSDAY - CLUB and JUNIOR NIGHT
Every Thursday evening (starting at 6pm) throughout the season (starting this Thu 10th April) we are encouraging all our members to come down to the club to take part in one of the following activities:
Junior night - coaching and game sfor our junior section members
Club Team Development night - for those members aspiring to represent the club in the national and county competitions this will be a chance to get together to develop team spirit and get to know each others games to build strong and effective squads
Club Night - just come along and have a roll up with your mates
Everyone is encouraged to stop behind afterwards in the clubhouse for a chat an drink - let's build that teasm / club spirit.
Maybe every now and then we could do something a bit different e.g. a BBQ or a little quiz - any ideas would be welcomed

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
We are a friendly club and encourage new bowlers to come and give the game a try. Bowls is a sociable game, a healthy outdoor sport and above all it’s for ALL ages
So, if you are young or not so young, experienced or a beginner, and you would like to give it a try, do come down to our Club just off the Promenade in Kings Gardens, and you will be made very welcome.
Southport Bowling Club offers:-
- Free coaching by qualified instructors
- The loan of equipment, avoiding the need to incur any expense until you are sure the game is for you
Southport Bowling Club is the only Flat Green Bowling Club in the Southport and Liverpool area. Established in 1937 our two bowling greens are located at the south end of the Marine Lake in Kings Gardens just off the Promenade. There is a large clubroom with adjacent changing and locker facilities.
We have a reputation for being a very friendly sociable club and new members are made very welcome. For the new bowler we offer free taster sessions and free coaching plus the loan of suitably sized bowls. The only proviso, you must wear footwear with smooth soles and no heels.
Our playing season begins in April and runs through the summer months to the middle of September. Club roll ups are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. These games are a relaxed and easy way to learn, improve and play bowls.
Social Bowling may also take place at weekends and in the week when the greens are available and not in use for organised competitions.
For those players wishing to play in a more competitive arena the club enters teams, and individual players enter both National and County competitions. Various Club Leagues run on weekdays for members to enjoy a competitive game in addition to Club Competitions. A number of social events take place throughout the year, Bowl and Dine, Quiz nights, and Bingo. Special themed events take place throughout the summer and also the winter months
We open our second Green to members of the public, with a Green Fee payable.
