Hello all members
There has been a substantial increase in the number of social bowlers resulting in over demand at several social sessions. To avoid frustration, we are introducing more sessions.
Thursdays: An extra session and new start times to 10.00am, 12 noon and 2.00pm
Saturdays: start time 10.00am.
Summary: social sessions available to all as from today are:-
Sunday 10.00am
Monday 12 noon and 2.00pm
Tuesday 2.00pm and 7.00pm
Thursday 10.00am, 12 noon and 2.00pm
Saturday 10.00am
Other options:
Monday 12 noon: Four rinks are available on alongside the Sight Support group.
Friday 12.30pm is the Sleights session but there is usually space for 8-10 others.
Wednesday at 2.00pm is a private session for Sheriff Hutton and Pickering clubs’ members and their guests.
Additionally, for groups of 10 or more players there are possible openings on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday at 12 noon.
Obviously, these extra sessions will stretch our band of volunteers to their limits. If you can help please let me know.
Social evenings We had a fantastic Live Music and Quiz Nite on Friday 30th October and raised £110 for Children in Need. (Thanks to all those who helped and attended.)
The next social event is the Presentation Night at 7.00pm on Friday 18th December. See the notice boards for more information.
The Ryedale Indoor Bowling Club AGM is on Monday 7th Dec 2.00pm. If you have any suggestions for improving the club then please notify a committee member.
On behalf of myself and our committed volunteer team, I thank you all for ensuring the success of our club. It makes our efforts all worthwhile.
Thank you.
Dave England (for RIBC committee)

Whilst at present, there are no catering and bar facilities available at Oscar’s, we still have access to the function rooms and want to make use of them. If you know of any groups that would like to hire the rooms please assure them that the meeting and function rooms are all available on a private hire basis. Contact is rclcadmin@gmail.com or speak to John Breckon or Dave England.
Many thanks to all for ensuring we have got both the leagues and the social sessions off to a good start. We have changed the Thursday afternoon social session start time to a more suitable 1.00pm.
ALL morning sessions, whether league or social, now start at 10.00am
To accommodate rising demand, it’s likely we will introduce more of both league and social sessions into our programme. So, keep a look out on the notice board for proposed days and times.
Future events planned to date are
a challenge match versus the Yorkshire Patrons on Sunday 1st November and
a league winners’ presentation and entertainment night on Friday 18th December.
We hope to fit in a Whistle-stop meeting sometime in between.
A warning for those who travel from the Malton side of the Railway. There will be traffic control on the Norton side of the crossing from Mon 21st September. It may advisable to divert around the bypass and come in from Scarborough road.
Membership renewals are going well. We need your membership forms for our records so please ensure you return them, checked, signed and indicating how you have paid or intend to pay.
For 2026/27 season we have 25 new members joining us – which is very encouraging.
That’s it for now,
Dave E – on behalf of the committee
