Flackwell Heath Bowling Club 2 “The Cherries” was formed in 1984 in response to local demand – since when it has gone from strength to strength. The Club is now a focal point in the village, providing as it does, both sporting and social activities. “Fun, Fitness and Friendship” is our Club’s adopted motto and although essentially a summer outdoor bowling organisation we offer various close season pursuits including whist, short-mat bowling, bingo and skittles to shake off those winter blues! FHBC is a member of the Bucks Bowling Association and participates in many South Bucks competitions including Chiltern & Thames, Three Counties and the Bucks Plate and League contests, We have a full fixture list with many bowling clubs in the area, hold our own internal competitions and have regular practice (roll-up) sessions to suit all levels of players. The Club boasts one of the finest greens in the county and has a very well stocked licenced bar. Bowling is both a sociable and skilful game and new members of any age and capability are very welcome to come along and “GIVE BOWLS A TRY” We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon !!! What better way to enjoy an afternoon. Have you ever stood and watched a game of bowls on sunny afternoon and thought to yourself, those guys seem to be enjoying themselves, maybe you also thought, they’re a bit old, that’s not for me, but, hey, I’m not getting any younger. Bowls is not a game just for oldies, it’s for all ages It’s just that when you’re a bit older you have more time, sometimes too much time, it’s a great way to while away a sunny afternoon, a little exercise, a chat with convivial company and a cup of tea. I bet now your thinking, that’s for me. What is the game of bowls? Well, normally you play in teams of three or maybe four with two or three plastic balls called woods, that sometimes seem to have a mind of their own. The idea is to get near the jack, but of course your opponent wants the same, that’s easy, you say to yourself, well why not come along and see, the more you play the better it gets. Bowls is the only game that I know where you are praised for a good wood but no-one ever criticises you for a bad one. At Flackwell Heath Bowls Club we have a great bunch of people, a wonderful club house, possibly the nicest in the area and the green is brilliant. We also have a skittle alley, bingo and whist afternoons and also the odd social night. If you want to join the social activities, you can. If you just want a pleasant afternoon in the sun, fine. We start playing at the beginning of April and go on until the beginning of September. We will lend you the woods and even give you coaching. Why not give it a go, no matter what age you are I know you’ll enjoy it. Contact Peter Martin 01494 673612 for a free of charge trial. To advertise text or call 07947 349134
