Welcome to the Website for Clock House (Upminster) Bowling Club
The Club welcomes new members, either existing bowlers or beginners. Our green is situated in Clockhouse Gardens, St Marys Lane, Upminster, close to Waitrose, in delightful surroundings. We play in competitive leagues for both men and ladies. There are also friendly matches with other local Clubs and, if you so wish, just some social bowling. We are a friendly social Club and run several social events throughout the year. "Photo Quiz"
New starting on Wednesday 25th March. Follow this link to my photo quiz on the website. The page will stay on the site for a week, no need to rush, gives me a chance to prepare next weeks. There are 20 photos to identify, good luck. Send your answers to clockhousebowlingclub@gmail.com. "Coffee Kwiz" Tuesday 24th March
12 quizzers jumped online for the TV quiz. Congrats to Peter Jones who must have the fastest fingers in the Club and perhaps the squarest eyes. Tomorrow it is Elvis day. Participants will be sent Elvis music via email for them to guess the track. "Race Day" from Flamingo Park, South Africa Monday 23rd March
15 participants went to the inaugural Race Day meeting in South Africa where Paul Hyde took the early lead with 52 points in the betting. If you missed this meeting, don't worry, back on Friday with the next round. "Trevor's World Foodie Cruise"
Go along with Trevor on a 3 month "Lockdown" cruise. Simply get a world map and plan a world cruise. Then read up on your ports of call, places of interest, history, amazing facts. Why not cook a meal relevant to the country you're in. Let Trevor know how you get on and where you are. You might even bump into him somewhere on route. If anyone wants to go without their partner, Trevor has agreed to pay the single cabin supplement for you. Bon Voyage. BBC Gardeners World
On Sunday morning 8th March, 20 members of the Club very kindly came along for the first of this years Best Bowls Club gardening sessions. A great turnout. Ditch clearing, green spiking, planting about 60 plants, yes 60, bench sanding, clubhouse roof and gutter cleaning and a general clean up of grounds. Something for everyone. Sausages and bread pud plus tea and coffee was supplied and eagerly consumed. All done in a great atmosphere of team work. Thanks to everyone who came along. Due to popular demand and to allow those who were disappointed at not being able to attend, we will be holding a second session on Sunday 29th March at 10am.
