As there has been so much speculation and discussion about SAN LUIS BOWLS GREEN hopefully this will explain the current situation:
“When Vic announced that we were to have the base done, a new underlay and a new carpet, as discussed and quoted for by the Greengauge representative, we all had high expectations of a great playing surface to be the “flagship” for them, of what they could provide.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case as the base has shown to be “not suitable for purpose”. The Company, commissioned by the Greengauge representative, after much discussion via Julian Pering agreed to try and rectify the matter f.o.c.
In order to do so the carpet and underlay had to be unstitched and lifted and then when the base was done relaid, and restitched – AT A COST – through no fault of Vic’s. Greengauge were not prepared to give in anyway at all saying the base was not within their remit, although their representative had been involved with “providing” the company.
Vic has decided NOT to have any more work done on the green FOR THE TIME BEING. We have a good carpet and underlay but unfortunately the expectations of a great playing surface has not been met. BUT it is still perfectly playable and no worse than certain rinks at other clubs.
So, let’s just get on with bowling and enjoying our matches and each other’s company and show what a great club we are.”

La Marina Report by Barry Latham
Last week we beat the VCL League Leaders and this week we upset the number two by beating San Miguel at our place 10-4. The togetherness continued for the Parsons, both Janet and Peter played the Singles and won 21-17 each. Isn’t it lovely? Captain Colin Armitage, Martin Butler and Lynne Armitage had a tight game but came out the winners 14-12. Last (Well, off the green.) but not least the rink of Barry Latham, Wendy Latham, Mike Smith and Barbara Forshaw had a good win by 18 to 13. The overall shot difference was very close, we got it by one. We might still be last in the league but we are at the moment upsetting the leaders. May it continue!!!! When I arrived to watch the Pilots I was told as we walked to the ground we were down on very rink bar one. Obviously it must have been our cheering and ribald comments that spurred the Pilots to eventually chop down the Greenland Gladiators. Good to see a lot of our friends from our old club but even better to beat them 10-4. Close all the way though but gradually La Marina took over. Mike Smith, Peter Bailey and Jean Tregoing plus Terry and Jean Perchard and Reg Jackson both pulled off creditable draws. Dave Taylor, Tom Spencer and Mo Taylor had a good win by four shots. And the Hadaways are back ……. to form both winning. Dave, Arthur Cronk and Dave O’Sullivan won 20-15 and Shirley, Steve Hindle and Carol Smith won 25-15. Two cracking results this week so well done Captains and Selectors who get a lot of stick at times.
Don’t forget if you want to join our happy little Club you can phone our Captain Steve Hindle on 966184360. Don’t worry if you have never played before we can lend you all the kit you need plus some coaching.
