The Committee and Members of Menstrie Bowling Club would like to offer their Condolences to the family and friends of Stan Paterson, his death was sudden and a complete shock to everyone who knew him.

Stan was a former Chairman of Menstrie Community Council and continued as a hard working member after stepping down.

He was involved in many projects, the Community Garden, the Christmas lights, food parcel deliveries to name but a few. Stan always had a smile and a chat for anyone he passed, he made Menstrie a better place to live and was a true Gentleman!

RIP Stan

WE HOPE THAT EVERYONE IS WELL AND GETTING ON WITH DAILY LIFE WITH AS MUCH EASE AS COVID19 ALLOWS!

THE NEW BUILDING WAS ERECTED IN EARLY JANUARY AND WE ARE CURRENTLY FITTING OUT THE INSIDE, INSTALLING INSULATION / PLASTERBOARD, ELECTRICS, LIGHTING ETC. WE SHOULD HAVE THE WORK COMPLETED AND READY TO GO IN TIME FOR THE START OF THE SEASON!

BOWLING CLUB – UPDATE!

It looks highly unlikely that we will be open again this year and as a result we have Beer/Lager that will go out of date before then. We’ve given this some thought and in an attempt to try and empty the cellar we have purchased a number of 4 Pint Plastic containers!

Ashley will be in the Bowling Club on Thursday 5th November from 5pm to 6pm to fill the plastic containers and we will be charging £10 per 4pint container.

We will try this again over the weekend if there is interest so feedback/comments are most welcome!
