Friends of Bamford
Remember this?
Just look at it now!
On a cold wet Sunday last October, Friends of Bamford volunteers braved the elements to plant
Daffodil bulbs on Bamford Green. Well done, volunteers!
Bowls/Boules Social Evening
We now have a firm date for the above event, which is Friday, 14th June, time to be confrmed,
but starting early evening, at Bamford Bowling Club, organised jointly with Friends of Turcoing
group. Bamford Bowling Club have, obviously, a beautiful bowling green round the back, but
turns out they have a Boules pitch as well! Who knew?
It will be a knockout competition, teams of 2 will play short matches against another team of 2,
at both, or either, bowls or boules, until eventually there is a winning team from each, who will
then play each other at both sports. Simples!
Total beginners at both sports are welcome, it’s just a bit of fun, and all you need is a partner.
Equipment will be provided, and food will be available, either a barbeque if it’s a fine evening, or
in the clubhouse if not. This is a perfect opportunity to try your hand at something new, you never
know, you might have a hidden talent, and even if you havent, we expect it to be a fun evening.
Come and join in, get involved!
Saturday 10th August. Watch out for further details of our planned Fun Dog Show and Family
Day, on Bamford Green. Details yet to be decided, but we hope to include fun dog classes like
Dog fancy dress, musical Sit, etc., plus other family orienated stalls and sideshows like Tombola
and Penalty Shoot out.
