Crown Green Event May 2026

Crown Green Competition Day

On Saturday 30 May, 16 pairs, split into 4 leagues took part in a Crown Green Competition
at HEBC.
It has been a few years since this competition has been run, but everyone who took part had
a very enjoyable day, in the rather hot sunshine, trying their best to avoid bowls heading in
all sorts of random directions.
The finals were held in the afternoon with Malcolm Linn and David Mather against Peter
Stokes and Andy Mintrim. It was a close fought match with Malcolm and David being
crowned the victors.
Well done to you all and congratulations to the competition winners, Malcolm and David.
Thank you to everyone who took part , with a special thanks to Ian Holmes for organising the
competition and a big thank you to everyone who helped on the day to make this event such
a success. It was great fun and a lot of laughs were had.

Your Green Needs You!!

The green team are looking for more volunteers to help with cutting and green maintenance. Please speak to Ian Short.
All those that have seen the green recently can only agree that it is looking in good shape as we approach the new outdoor season. This is due to the continued hard work of the green team.
But for this to continue we are looking for at least one more volunteer to step up and help out, more than one of you would obviously be welcome!
If you can help out with the mowing of the green ideally on a Thursday morning then please contact me, the commitment is one Thursday morning every other week.
Thank you in advance
