Coral Bay Bowling Club Finals Weekend and Open Day

The weekend of the 5th and 6th April, 2014, saw the culmination of this season's club knockout competitions. A great turnout of members and non-members were royally entertained on both days with quality bowling as you would expect when you reach the final stages of any competition.

There are a total of 14 team and individual club tournaments with the first rounds of competition commencing in the autumn of 2013 and continuing over, what turned out to be, a very mild winter.

The competitions and the Finals weekend were organised by Bob Cross, and Bob was ably assisted by a number of club members without whose assistance the task would have been impossible. CBBC is also very grateful to John Godden who freely provided his expertise as an umpire for the Finals.

All the trophies were presented to the winners by Ann Jenkinson, a CBBC member, who is currently President of Bowls Cyprus, the umbrella organisation for bowls on the island.

Photographs of all the winners can be seen at http://www.coralbaybowlsclub.com/photo.htm.

Open Day

Coral Bay Bowling Club, which is based within the grounds of Neo's Sports Club in Peyia, is holding its first ever Open Day on Saturday 17th May, 2014, between 10am and 4.00pm.

Anyone interested in taking up the game of Bowls, or renewing an old acquaintance with the sport, will be made very welcome. All the equipment required, ie. bowls and shoes, will be provided free for the day, and the club coaches will be in attendance to provide pearls of wisdom to set you on your way.

Club members will also be there to welcome you to the club and to provide any information you may need about the club. Although the club runs competitions for members throughout the year, it is not all about "competition". We have three "roll-up" sessions per week where members just turn up and play.

The club also has a very active social side if that interests you, and of course we are based at that well known hostelry and restaurant in Peyia, Neo's Sports Club. Members of CBBC receive a 10% discount within Neo's. Any new members recruited through the Open Day process will receive a €25 voucher for the restaurant within Neo's from the Sports Club owner, Stavros.

So if you fancy giving it a go, come along to the green on Saturday 17th May, 2014, and you will be made very welcome!! If you wish more information regarding the Open Day, telephone Bob Cross on 26623464. You can also find out more information on the club itself on our website, www.coralbaybowlsclub.com.
