School bowling days 2017
On the warm sunny afternoon of Wednesday 5 July 2017 the final event in the Club's Schools Programme took place. It was the much-awaited match between the Red Team from St. Mary's Primary School against the Blue Team from St.Mary's Academy. The format was two teams of eight pupils getting two shots each at four targets (at differing lengths) and then having a second round at the same targets. At the halfway point the Reds had what appeared to be an unassailable lead, buoyed on by support from their classmates, but the Blues rallied in the second half and the end result was very close! The Reds from St. Mary's Catholic Primary school became the first holders of the trophy by the narrowest margin of 101 points to 99!!
The three afternoon sessions and the match were much enjoyed by year 5 pupils and the feedback from the schools was very positive – so much so, that I feel we must put it in our programme for next year! Some of the youngsters showed real talent and style, so hopefully a seed has been planted in their mind?
I would like to thank all the Members who helped in the running of the four sessions and hope that the Membership gives their support for next year's School Visits. Also thanks to Bromsgrove IBC, Welford BC and Pershore Bowls Centre for the loan of smaller bowls. Also, for £500 in sponsorship money from Bristol Street Motors and Taylor Bowls for the gift of 3 sets of 00 bowls.
The hope of forming a Junior Section didn't materialise, with only one girl and her parents coming along on the appointed Saturday morning, however, as the lady from the Bowls Development Alliance said – some 85 pupils had a go at bowls and they and their families now know of the existence of their local bowls club!

Juniors at Entaco
For the first time in our history we have had two groups of 10 year old pupils bowling on our green. Two classes of around 26 pupils from St Mary's C of E Academy spent around 1 1/2 hours on the green each. Six rinks were set up each with a target and club members as instructors and scorers. The children, boys and girls, all showed great skill and soon mastered the basics. We do hope they all enjoyed their afternoon out and as many as possible are keen to join us on Saturday morning, 10th June at 10.30 am for our first ever Junior Bowls Club....and it's free.
