Dunfermline Friendly


We had a lovely day on Saturday 2nd July, playing our annual friendly match against Dunfermline Bowling Club . It was the first time since Covid stopped the game taking place, which has been a fixture for over 70 years.
A lovely meal was provided by Walter and his wife Anne. All the raffle prizes were won by Craigmillar bowlers! However pictured is Christine Simpson presenting the trophy to Darren Henderson for Dunfermline bowlers who won the match by one point!

Bishopbriggs v Edinburgh Friendly 2022


The Edinburgh Ladies team at Bishopbriggs


Ruth Addinall and Christine Simpson were on the Edinburgh Ladies team that went to Bishopbriggs Bowling Club for the annual friendly match. It was a fantastic day, lots of great company, lovely food and good bowling. There were 6 full rinks and Edinburgh had the highest overall score. It has been an annual fixture since 1948, with only the 2 years out for Covid, so next year, the 75th Anniversary should be a really special day.

2022 Season

Opening day this year was great. Very well attended by regular members and lovely to see old and new faces.The green was opened with the Silver Jack by Anna Fowlie. Our first day match was the President's teams v the Vice-President's teams. The winners were Derick Scott, Tom Lenagan, Anna Fowlie on the Vice-President's team.

Presidents past, present and future!

It has been a particularly good season weather wise, and the green has been looking extremely good for the latter part of the season (unlike last year!).The anti fox fence has turned out to be an excellent investment.
