Date published: 10 September 2018

Milnrow (Ladybarn) Bowling Club has been shortlisted for a grant via Grassroots Giving and is asking people to vote for them to win this funding.

Ken Davies MBE, chairman of Milnrow (Ladybarn) Bowling Club, said: “Any assistance you can kindly give by personally voting and encouraging friends and work colleagues to vote will be much appreciated.

“We are now very much aware of the need to encourage young disadvantaged children and vulnerable adults to enjoy a pastime that will enhance their future living and experiences.

“The club committee believes that this funding will have an immediate impact within the community by assisting the development of both the children and adults referred to above.

"Our intent is to purchase new smaller bowls woods, jacks and t-shirts for use by the children and vulnerable adults to help their enjoyment of the game for many years to come.

“We are hopeful of providing these new facilities for approximately 20 new players initially and then growing the numbers in the foreseeable future.

"Milnrow (Ladybarn) Bowling and Social Club extends a very warm welcome to all ages within our community and encourages everyone to learn the game of crown green bowls in a safe, secure and enjoyable environment.”

“As a mixed Community Bowling and Social Club based in the village of Milnrow we have provided the opportunity for the whole community to enjoy the game of crown green bowls for over 100 years.

“In doing so we hope our local people will also feel the benefit of good exercise and thrive on much fun and fellowship.

“We have taken the steps of promoting crown green bowls to all ages from eight to eighty plus.

“The activities and services provided on a volunteer basis intend to give our members, guests and visitors the ideal opportunity to play the sport of bowls, socialise in the community and be part of a thriving and successful club environment.

“We have proudly received 'Outstanding Award Winner' in Britain In Bloom for the past two years.”
