Welcome to the Southport & District Vets Bowling Results

 

30th September 2024

Due to the persistent rainfall, I am expecting a number of games to be called off.

I would request the following-

1:-        Please advise your opposing team captain as soon as possible to save un necessary travel

2:-        Please attempt to re arrange the games as soon as possible, especially the games which will affect league positions.

The weather is better later this week.  I am happy to allow games to be played by the 7th of October.

Please bear in mind several games have already been arranged for the 7th of October and we also have 3 cup finals on that date.

3:-        I do not want to extend the season beyond the 7th of October. Any games not played by that date the committee will determine the result.

I look forward to your cooperation with the above.

Any queries I can be contacted on 07977500131 George Hitchmough
