Welcome to the Christmas edition of your Club Newsletter.
Firstly, scorecards: please fill them in correctly ie. the correct 4 names under the named skip, not the other way round! Also, fill in ALL the ends and scores, not JUST the final score. Next- if you have postponed a game it is your responsibility to inform the Office and your opposition. It is your opposition’s responsibility to give you 3 dates to replay the fixture.
Thanks to all for not taking home (yet!) any of our electronic score handsets!
Christmas Dinners – don’t leave it too late. Alberta is taking bookings now! Think of not just your rink, but your short mat club, or family.
The next Table Quiz is on Saturday November 30th at 7.30. Support this venture and thus support our own International players who are going to Stanley next March.
The Ladies Committee are selling tickets for the Christmas hamper – tickets from Reception.
At the time of going to press, the Club has so far raised £550 through the Raffle for the Philippines disaster – well done BIBC members. A set of bowls is up for grabs here.
Our official shop website (www.belfastindoorbowls-shop.co.uk) is up and running now – look it up and order some gifts for Christmas!
I believe we all have a set (or sets!) of bowls at home that we no longer use. Please think of donating them to the Club, as some of our old sets in the Reception area are looking a bit the worse for wear. Thanks in advance.
You might have noticed I have asked for volunteers from BIBC to (possibly) enter a short mat team in the Lisburn League. Please add your name if interested.
