Greetings to all,

As a result of the feedback from the members survey, the following social event has been arranged by the committee

Live Music and Quiz Night – Friday 30^th October 7pm to 10pm.

With 2 singers/musicians playing songs you know and love.

A nudge towards Halloween!!

Short Music based Quiz – with prizes for the winner.
Raffle – please bring a prize.
Crisps/Nuts/Nibbles Included
Bring Your Own Drinks (we’ll provide glasses)

Cost £5 per person. Open to members, friends and family. Pay on the night.

To ensure you are included – please add your name to the forms on the club notice board
                                                 OR email breckon.john@gmail.com

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 21^st 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

Start of season 2026/7 Newsletter

Greetings to both old and new members.

Renewals are going well and we also seem to be gaining quite a few new members. Please ensure you return your signed, fully checked and completed membership application form to the office – we need it for our records.

Apologies for any confusion regarding morning starting times. I can confirm that as from Sunday 30^th August, ALL morning sessions will start at 10.00am. Starting then, there will be 2 weeks of free bowling for all bowlers – so come along and enjoy. (It’s not often we can be so generous, but this is the reward for a very good year.) Sessions for the 2 weeks will be :-

	Social Bowling	Practice
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday	10.00am 2.00pm 2.00pm, 7.00pm   10.00am, 1.30pm 12.30pm	10.00am, 7.00pm 10.00am 10.00am, 7.00pm 7.00pm 10.00am

If we have enough entries, there will be a Whistlestop meeting at 1.00pm on Wed 9^th September.

Leagues sessions are almost full – subject to a couple of confirmations. As the season gets underway notices will be posted outlining potential additional League and Social sessions. If you want to enter a team or be part of a team, get your name on the list.

We will also open up the opportunity for groups to reserve rinks for social sessions. These will depend on the availability of volunteers to supervise the sessions.

That’s it for now, look forward to welcoming you back shortly

Dave England (for RIBC committee)

           

Visit to Potter’s Bowling Centre
