Bowling Club Recruitment Drive

Updated: Jan 19, 2023

As you are aware the Club is financially sound and holds an image district wide as somewhere visiting players look forward to playing . The Club has an excellent green , an extended and attractive Pavilion, an informative new website and we have a 3 year improvement programme .In addition we are well sited in the delightful new Community Park.

We are indeed fortunate.

Additionally we have just welcomed several new members who are contributing to bringing down our age profile and all look useful bowlers. Guys you are very welcome .

I highlight them because, boy do we need their like. If we project ourselves forward 3-4 years the average age of our club members will be around 80.

This statistic is worrying for both the competitive element of our Club and indeed its actual existence. I am inclined to exaggerate for effect but make no mistake this is no exaggeration.

Your Committee is very concerned about the Club’s very existence in the medium term .Much discussion is taking place but we need YOUR HELP.!

To that end it is imperative that we make a concerted effort to attract younger members – say 55 to 65 years old !! And of course youngsters of all ages from 10 upwards would be a real bonus.

So what can we do ? Well this is where YOU come in .

We need a real effort from all members to promote the game to neighbours , friends , family and acquaintances who may be members of other clubs such as pilates, dance ,tennis and golf clubs which prove to be fertile hunting grounds for budding bowlers.


Geoff Shaw is coordinating our membership drive and has produced a flyer which I attach.

The idea is that you can circulate this to people you know who may be potential members and which could supplement your face to face chats with them

If each playing member contacts 5 people we have a potential 300 recruits !

If we could recruit 10 new members from this campaign we would deem it a great success particularly if they were from the younger age bracket.


Thank you all in anticipation

Regards

Barry
