Two losses this week, however, if a team can have a ‘good’ loss then we had one this week! Tuesday League – 30 August – Away – Hathersage As said on previous occasions this is a cracking venue. It’s a pity that they have such a good bowls team! They are second in the league [...]

Not a good week at all. We lost in both leagues. Unfortunately we do not seem to be able to put a consistently good run of wins together in either League. Tuesday league – 19 July – Home – Ashwood Park. Up until this season Ashwood Park have always been at least a top half [...]

Pilates has now finished until September. Unfortunately because of a serious back injury a few years ago, Georgie has decided that she can no longer run the evening Pilates sessions, so the committee are now looking for a replacement teacher.

The coach was completely full as we set off to Felley Priory Garden, situated a few miles from Heanor. The weather was kind, and a pleasant morning was spent by all wandering through the 2.5 acre garden. There were some very unusual plants but luckily the gardener was on hand to help identify any that were not [...]

Before starting on this week’s informative and knowledgeable details of the results of the league team a few words on the Bowls Extravaganza which took place on Wednesday night.

A much better result in one league, but not so good in the other! Tuesday league – 21 June – Home – Matlock Golf Club. A lot better consistency this week against a team who we very often struggle against. The outcome this match however was never in doubt after the first two games which [...]

Oh dear not at all good this week. Two losses. Tuesday league 9 June – Away – Whitworth Park. Really strange match this. Both teams won two games each, but we each had extreme highs and extreme lows in the games. As a result the match scores were very low for both teams. Whitworth just [...]

Two good wins this week. Tuesday league 24 May – Away – Wirksworth: The green at Wirksworth is probably the biggest in the league and is very difficult to play on, however, we had one of our best wins against them this week. We managed to win three games to their one giving us an [...]
