SWBA
District Finals.
The
awarding of yet another Honour for our Silver Jubilee year in
the shape of the SWBA District Finals has meant further changes
to our Fixture List which has now been updated.
With
both the qualifying rounds and District Finals now being held
@ Abronhill, the Ladies will never have a better chance of bringing
honours back to the Club.
Hogmanay
Cabaret & Party.
A
great night was had by all at the annual party night
Andy
Shanks and Brian Smith showed a touching regard for each other
during an impromptu Jig ( or was it a Gay Gordons ) which is
set to feature on next seasons strictly come dancing
Big Ian stood still long enough to get his photo taken with
Frank and Margaret ( who look as though they've been captured
and aren't getting away ) and Willie Carmichael regaled us with
an unaccompanied version of "Auld Lang Syne".
An
absolutely brilliant night, The Kitchen was busy, the hospitality
was in full flow and all of our thanks go to the Social Team
who organised the event
Website
Updates.
Our
Website is gradually being changed over the Winter to get ready
for the new Season. So far we have the Preliminary Calendar
for next year, and a much enlarged History Section which is
due to be further enhanced soon. When available, The Dates /
Acts for the Social evenings will be put on-line.
Just
remember, that without the Members the Website wouldn't be nearly
so interesting, so whether it's a comment, a story, or photographs
old or new, please continue to send in anything you have
Presentation
Dance.
The
Season finished on a high, with an excellent Presentation night
and two very pleased Champions. Thanks to everyone who helped
make it such a success and see you all next year - our Silver
Anniversary.
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks
to Margaret Robb for the Photographs.
Help
Wanted.
In
order to get the Greens in tip-top condition for next year,
the Committee is embarking on a programme of planned work throughout
the closed season. The main drain and Interceptor pit from the
Greens has already been cleaned out and the next phase is to
clear out all of the ditches and re-drill the drainage holes
to improve drainage. We will be carrying out this work every
Saturday from 31st October onwards from 10.00am to 12.30pm each
day. Any members with the time to spare and the willingness
to carry out some manual labour would be warmly welcomed.
Recognition
of our 25th Anniversary.
In
recognition of the above, The Glasgow Bowling Association has
awarded Abronhill Bowling Club the Finals of the Sponsored Fours,
Charity Cup, Coronation Cup, Under Forty Fives and Centenary
Cup for next year and the Kirkintilloch and District Bowling
Association has awarded us the 2010 Championship Finals. When
you add on the Strathcarron Trophy to this, which we are hosting
next year, it all makes for a busy and exciting year ahead.
