To all HPBC Members

Subject: Re-Opening of the Green - Committee Decision

Firstly, I hope that everyone is still keeping well and safe at the present time.

The HPBC management committee meet virtually again this week to discuss whether the Green should be opened to allow roll-ups for members or whether it should remain closed.

As advised last month, work would still be required to be completed prior to opening in order to make the club environment clean and safe.

It would still require a number of volunteers to help with these works to be completed. 

However, the committee voted again NOT to allow the green to be re-opened at this point in time and we would review again in a F2F meeting in the first part of August, the date is yet to be formalised.

The decision is of course is again disappointing, but the overriding considerations are the health and safety of all of our members, plus the general public that use the park. 

If you have any issues, queries or concerns on the above please email me.

Hesketh Park had their Annual Christmas afternoon on
Sunday 15th December.

The members were entertained by Ray Johnston on the keyboard playing

Christmas carols which everyone sung along to.

​

A special treat was a performance from member Pauline Griffin

who did Burlington Bertie and was dressed appropriately.

​

There were sausage rolls, mince pies and nibbles all washed down by mulled wine.

​

A big thank you to Jackie Amess for the lovely mulled wine and to all the other members who supplied food to make it a great afternoon.

​

Hesketh Park Bowls Club would like to wish all the members and their families a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2020.

The Macmillan Coffee Morning was a great success and many members and friends of Hesketh Park came along to enjoy coffee, tea & cake. 

The Mayoress from Dartford came to give her support.
The club raised £639.83 selling items on the Gift Stall, Tombola,
and a raffle with prizes, a cake made to look like flowers, and a hamper.

Donations were given from various people.

Message from Roy Wood

Matches played Saturday 8th Bexley Park &
Sunday 9th Horton Kirby September 2019

Hi All

What a good weekend it was!!!

A win at home against Bexley Park giving us 9 points was followed by a superb win away at Horton Kirby, 8 points. At the moment we are sitting in 6th place in the league and a win away at Halls in 2 weeks could see us reach the dizzy heights of 4th place, (here's hoping).

So a massive well done to all who took part, (including super sub Carmen who turned up to cheer us on), and thank you to the ladies for their support in these games.

I attach a photo below of the back drop to the Horton Kirby game which is one of my favourites of the grounds we visit.

More news tomorrow!

Thank You
