27/04/12..Thame Bowls Club says ‘its not just for oldies’

THAME Bowls Club is targeting youngsters from Lord Williams’ School to try their hand at the game of Bowls this year. They are currently working with Sports teacher, Christine Daplyn at the School to try to get a teaching module at the Bowls Club this summer, which will go towards a GCSE in Sport.

The Chairman of Thame Bowls Club, Bill Giles OBE, the former head of the BBC Weather Forecasting, is very keen to promote the game of Bowls within the younger age groups locally.

Last summer 21 year old Natalie Melmore, the current Commonwealth Gold Medal winner in the Singles competition, visited the Club in Thame to demonstrate her skills and pass on knowledge to some eager teenagers from Lord Williams.

INVITATION FROM BILL GILES & THAME BOWLS CLUB

You are invited to try your hand at the game of Bowls at Thame Bowls Club’s Annual recruitment evening, in Queens Road, Thame, on TUESDAY, MAY 1ST & TUESDAY MAY 8TH from 6pm onwards.

Experienced Club Coaches will be on hand to demonstrate the basics to those people trying the game for the first time, and other Club members will be there to help and advise. All equipment, including Bowls and Shoes, will be provided, although if you bring your own flat-soled shoes to wear that will be fine.

Free Refreshments & Licensed Bar.

Come along and join in the fun and find out more about the great game of Bowls. We look forward to meeting you.

Bill Giles, Chairman and Vic Brooks, Club Captain.
