The current league season is only just past the halfway mark but one Mid Shropshire club is already planning for winter.
Allscott Heath aim to make full use of their new home, which includes an all-weather artificial green at the new sports complex, by launching a closed season league for bowlers from the Mid Shropshire area.
“Our new facilities include an all weather green and to take advantage of this – and to offer an opportunity to bowlers to bowl through the winter – we intend to set up a winter league that would start shortly after the close of our current season,” said club chairman Chris Hayward.
“We hope to have games being played throughout the week, on Monday through to Friday evenings, but this will depend on the level of interest we receive.”
Club delegate Bob Kendall outlined the plan at the League’s July meeting and Allscott Heath have circulated all clubs in the MSBL with a questionnaire to gauge interest and have asked for replies to be back with Chris by July 31.
He is also looking for bowlers interested in helping to launch the league as part of a committee, and for someone to be responsible for running it, and can be contacted on 07815-683302.
