St Agnes Open Day

Sourced from West Briton - 23rd August 2007

The club held an open morning on Saturday, August 18 to encourage people to try their hand at this popular indoor sport.

The village has three teams. One, The Cuckoos in the Premier League, and two, the Gulls and the Choughs, in the First Division of the Central League.

Many people took the challenge to enjoy a free 'roll-up', and tea or coffee and biscuits .

The morning was well supported, and the raffle, with prizes donated by club members and many of the local shops, together with a cake stall, and locally produced vegetables, fruit and plants, raised over £200 for club funds.

BOWLS CLUB AID WILL BE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY

Sourced from West Briton - 23rd August 2007

09:00 - 23 August 2007

Mabe Short Mat Bowls Club has secured two grants towards the cost of a machine which will make life easier for members.The club has been awarded just over £1,000 from Kerrier's Community Grant Scheme and a further £2,780 from the Lottery's Awards for All coffers.

The money will go towards the £4,000 needed to buy an Electrowind, a electric short mat carpet storage and handling unit. The shortfall will be made up by club, which has been holding various fundraising events. The machine will be one of the first manufactured in this country.

Club secretary Keith Bryant said: "Mabe Indoor Bowls Club, like many other clubs, has a large number of elderly members who like to bowl both for fun and competitively during the winter months.

"The main item of equipment used indoors is a bowls mat, 45 feet long and six feet wide. Mabe Community Hall accommodates two of these mats for competitive matches.

"The mats are very heavy and need to be rolled up and stored after every bowling session, somewhat difficult for the elderly members two to three times a week. Therefore the committee decided it would try to obtain some assistance for the membership, to allow all the present members and hopefully some new members, to take part without too much stress or injury."

That is where the Electrowind machine comes in. The new unit is due to be commissioned at a short ceremony at Mabe Community Hall on September 7.

Club's delight at grants

Sourced from Falmouth Packet - 22nd August 2007

MABE Short Mat Bowls Club have just been advised they have been successful in grant awards from both Kerrier District Council Community Grant Scheme and the Awards for All Programme from the Lottery Grants for Local Groups.

Mabe Indoor Bowls Club, like many other clubs, have a large number of elderly members who like to both bowl for fun and competitively during the winter months.

The main item of equipment used indoors is a bowls mat 45 feet long and six feet wide; Mabe Community Hall accommodates two of these mats for competitive matches. The mats are very heavy and need to be rolled up and stored after every bowling session, somewhat difficult for the elderly members two to three times a week.

The committee, therefore, decided they would try to obtain some assistance for the membership, to allow all the present members and hopefully some new members to take part without too much stress or injury.

The club decided it needed to purchase a reliable low maintenance, user-friendly machine that was mains powered, an "Electrowind," to help its members at a cost of almost £4,000.

The club has been awarded just over £1,000 from Kerrier's community grant scheme, and £2,780 from the "Awards for All" scheme. This leaves a small shortfall to be made up by the club. The members have during recent months run various fund raising events to obtain the necessary balance, and have now ordered the new "Electrowind" to be delivered for the start of the new winter season.

Press Release & Tables 20 Aug 07

Press Release:

The two finalists for the CCSMBA summer league have been decided for this season, both with a game to spare. The Nomads won the west area league, with a comfortable gap having not lost a game so far. Tintagel have wrapped up the east area league on Thursday without having to bowl a wood as the only team that could catch them, Withiel Elms, lost heavily at Boscastle.

The final between the Nomads and Tintagel will be played over two legs on a home and away basis.
