INDOOR BOWLING SECTION
The Indoor Bowling Section was in effect "spawned" from the outdoor Bowls Section. Short Mat Indoor Bowling - as
it is properly known - was first played at the Sports Club in 1991. Interest grew very quickly and it soon became obvious
that a new Section was needed to organise and run the playing sessions efficiently. The Indoor Bowling Section was formally
constituted in 1994 and now has approximately 40 members. Each week we have two Club
nights, on Tuesday and Sunday, with playing sessions starting at 7pm and finishing around 10 pm . We have an Internal League
from September to April comprising twelve teams of four players plus reserves. The League is run on Tuesday evenings. We play
Social bowls on Sundays during the months of October to March inclusive and on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer months.
There are various Members' competitions, including Gents and Ladies Singles and Mixed Pairs, and we arrange one or two
friendly games against teams from other local Clubs.
Members use their own Bowls, mostly Crown Green bowls, but we can usually accommodate anybody who doesn't possess their
own, on a short term basis.
MEMBERSHIP & PLAYING FEES
The fees for the Internal League are £16-00, and we charge 50p per evening for Social Bowls.
INFORMAL BOWLS SESSIONS
In the winter months, when the hall is free, there are also informal sessions of Indoor Bowls which are not run by the
Section. These sessions, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays usually start at 1.30pm and end at 4pm. Present
informal arrangements are that only Gents play on Wednesdays and Fridays, and Thursdays are "Ladies only."
All other sessions are Mixed. The charges for these sessions are £5 per mat, which is payable directly to the Culcheth
Sports Club via the Steward.
We are always pleased to see new faces on the Social evenings. Newcomers are advised that it is preferable
to have a go at the Social Bowls sessions first during the summer, by just turning up at 7-15pm on Tuesday evenings.
