Please note, we have a cashless bar this season as it makes life much easier for the team of bar volunteers and
the bar manager.
Now we have a cashless bar you cannot obtain change for your rink fees at the bar, so it would be
helpful if you can bring the correct money to pay your rink fee before game, thank you. I am advised that you can pay rink fee
by card if you wish.
Our Bar manager will be opening bar from 6pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday Night this season if weather is favourable.
We have purchased an on-line Rink Booking program, which has two main features. Members can put their name down
for games and check when they have been selected without coming to the club.
Members will also be able to book rinks for competitions and remotely check if rinks are available. The program can be accessed
from Computers,Tablets or Smartphones and a computer will be available at the club for anyone who does not have a suitable
device.
The link is www.marldon.rinkdiary.co.uk.
Training and support is still available for anyone who still requires it, contact Les Clarke to arrange or have a look at the training information below.

We opened for the summer as planner on April 21st, a nice sunny Day. Our president Ray O'Brien bowled the first wood before members took to the green for a spider and a quick practice before the Barbecue Lunch which was followed by a game of around 15 ends. A few pictures from the day can be found at this page
Maintenance sessions continue on Tuesday mornings. The green will not be open for Roll ups on Tuesday am, if you are free that morning, why not volunteer for one of the maintenance jobs.
Paul cannot cu the grass at present so we need a team of volunteers to assist in keeping the grass cut regularly.
If you can spare a morning a week, or if we get enough volunteers, one morning a fortnight,
to cut the grass on the bowling green, please ring Paul Stretton to let him know when you can come.
Many Thanks,
Management Committee.
Paul has also issued an appeal for more volunteers to attend to lighten the workload of the current Tuesday Maintenance session attendees. So please go down and see what you can do to help. Les Clarke (Site Manager) and Paul would be very grateful!
Volunteers continue to sweep the green daily as this should be done every morning, if weather permits, throughout the year. More volunteers are always welcome, Contact Paul to Volunteer.
We will, at some time in the not too distant future, need a new greenkeeper, as Paul wishes to retire, so if you have any interest in commencing the training required to be our greenkeeper, please let Paul know.
