Club Apparel
Following an enquiry as to how to obtain club shirts, we have approached Local Print Pros who, as you can see on their website, already supply quite a number of local bowling clubs.
Details of some of the clothing they can supply can be found here. All will have a club logo.
If there's enough interest, Local Print Pros will set-up a virtual shop on their website and we'll be able to order online.
A sample shirt, hoodie and half zip top are now available in the club for you to have a look at.
If you're interested in purchasing anything, please let me know.

Increase the social subscription by £5 to £20.
Increase the bowling subscription by £5 to £54. The £3 SCGBA levy will increase this to £57 for anyone who bowls in a league.
Increase all bar prices by 10p.
