FRENCH GROUP (April 15th 2024)
Group Leader Dave Sweatman has been quite poorly, and so the French Group is TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED until further notice. Our best wishes go to Dave for a speedy recovery.
CROWN GREEN BOWLING - Great news - As of Thursday March 28th 2024, the green at Burscough Cricket Club is once again ours to use privately EVERY THURSDAY from 1pm until 3pm for the season, until the end of September.
Our Carpet Bowling sessions will cease at The Hut for this period, unless there is poor weather or the green is not usable, in which case we will advise the Bowling Group members via WhatsApp on the morning of the session, to go to The Hut, where we will play Carpet Bowls instead.
We have loan sets of bowls available at the green for anyone wishing to try this pastime.
See you there.
