2010 Season
The new Season kicked off on Saturday 24th April at 1430 with the annual Captain vs. Vice-Captain's match. With the Captain's team having won for the past 2 years, there was no pressure this year on the Vice-Captain! However, after a really great day in the sunshine, the result was:
Vice-Captain's Revenge?
The return leg of the bi-annual Captain's vs. Vice-Captain's team match takes place on Saturday 25th September,starting at 11.00 am at Auriol Park.
Will the Vice-Captain's team be able to get revenge for their 70-84 defeat in the first match of the season,or will the Captain's team get a clean sweep?
Watch this space..........! Open Day 16th May
The weather was fine and -largely-dry,but a little chilly,so the cups of tea and home made cake provided by the Club in the Pavillion went down very well.
Our thanks to our visitors for taking the time to come along and see what bowls at Auriol has to offer,and to all the Club members who turned out to help make the day such a success.
Charity Support
The Charity Drive on Monday 31st May in support of Help For Heroes
was very well attended and raised £160 for the charity.
Despite the lack of sunshine everyone had a great time.
The Malden Tourists
The Malden tourists were started in the 1980's by Malden B.C. (Lime Grove New Malden) for its own members.Over the years the Tourists expanded to include members of other clubs in the area.This year half of those on tour were from Auriol Bowling Club(go to our Picture Gallery to see the group photo at Bournemouth).
The once-a-year tour takes place each July, and since 2005 has been based in Sandown(IOW),Exmouth or Bournemouth.
The 2011 tour will be based in Sandown (2nd-9th), and will consist of 6 matches, including an internal Ladies v. Gents match.The matches are arranged against Clubs in and around the base location, usually by local organisers appointed to the task. Transport is by coach from King George IBC to the hotel, and to and from the various match venues.
There is no formal membership of the Malden Tourists. Invitations are issued each year to interested parties, regardless as the outdoor clubs they belong to. Although the ambience is relaxed and friendly throughout , the matches are keenly contested (we won 3-2 this year), and the Ladies v Gents no less so !
Since the mid 1990's The Malden Tourists have been led by Roy Anstee(Captain), and his current assistants are Bob Tracey( Acting Captain & Treasurer) and Andrea Nunney(Ladies Captain).Anyone who would like an invite to the 2011 Tour should contact Bob on 02083931119 or Andrea on 02082243662.
The ladies Fun Afternoon Sunday 25th July
This years event was very well supported. The afternoons play was of a different format than normal with playing the woods first, then playing the jack after the woods came to rest.
We played 18 ends in all ,playing a number of different combinations, finishing with a grand tea and prizes.
Once again we were blessed with good weather.
Thanks to all those who took part.
