Visiting the Bowling Green at Wigtown

The Wigtown Bowling Club Green

Today I had a meeting with The Wigtown Bowling Club; they have a social every Thursday afternoon, time for a cuppa and a catch up. It was lovely to meet a few of the members.

The Wigtown Bowling Club is one of the Co-ops three causes this year, so they are wanting anyone with a Co-op members card in the area to donate their 1% to them.

They do have a long shopping list that their 1% needs to go towards. The green needs some astro covered back boards and there are lots of other ongoing maintenance and running costs. They will also be running some fun fundraisers throughout the year that local people and visitors can join in with.

The club also needs some new members, men and women, young and old. If you think you might fancy it you could go along one Thursday afternoon and meet everyone and find out more about it. They did say that they have competitions with other neighbouring towns, so it's a great way to get out and about and meeting people.

They told me how they'd gotten the local school children to come down one afternoon so that they could show them what it was all about. Some of the children did join the club and they'd like to attract more young people.

The club members did feel like a nice welcoming group of people who obviously enjoy the companionship of the other members as well as the game and tournaments. Here's hoping they raise lots of money this year to do all those little jobs to the green and club house that they would like to get done.
