RACE NIGHT 2013
RACE NIGHT 2013
“Many thanks to all those members and friends who attended the Club’s Race Night, held recently at the Churchtown Conservative Club. We would like to thank the Chairman of the Conservative Club, Mr.Graham Meadow, his Committee, the Club Steward Alan Lloyd, the bar staff and the Conservative Club members for allowing us the use of their excellent facilities.
Thanks also go to those members who helped out by either sponsoring a race or by obtaining horse owners and trainers. These include Bernard O’Malley, Dave Pennington, Mark Rowlinson and Mark Kitchen. We would also like to acknowledge the generous support of the Churchtown Conservative Club, NFU Mutual and Chez Moi (Lord Street).
The evening, ably hosted by Eric Morris, was a tremendous success, raising a final total of £1,305.93 towards Club funds. This would not have been possible without the assistance of those who helped out on the night. The Officers would like to thank all those who helped out with the buffet, organising the bingo, selling raffle tickets and running the tote.
Last, but by no means least, special mention must be made of Club Secretary, George Hitchmough. In addition to organising and co-ordinating the arrangements for the whole event, George was also responsible for the buffet, along with his willing team of helpers. Judging by the feedback received on the night all those who attended were appreciative of another splendid spread.
The Club is now looking forward to another enjoyable season, which officially gets under way on Easter Monday, 1st April, when a Round Robin will take place, starting at 2.00pm.”

The awards element of the evening was completed by an announcement by the Club Chairman, Chris Harding, of two new awards. The first award was for the Club’s Team of the Year, which for 2012 went to the Kestrels. This team, captained by Richard Rawcliffe, had an outstanding season, winning the double of 3rd Division Championship and also the 3rd Division mini-league cup. Congratulations to Richard and all his team.
For the final award, Keith Robinson, the Secretary of the Burscough and Lathom Bowling League and a long-standing member of the Club was invited to make the presentation to the Club Member Of The Year. This award was made to Jim Finnimore in recognition of all the voluntary work he has done for the Club over the past few years.
The evening continued with a Raffle, Quiz, Bingo and Pie & Peas supper.
The money raised was in excess of £300 which will be used for maintenance and repair to the green and surrounds over the Autumn and Winter to ensure the facilities will be up to members expectations for the 2013 season.”

KESTRELS “STOOP” TO CONQUER.
The Kestrels added to their success in winning Division 3 of the Aughton league by beating Promenade in the final of the Aughton Mini League cup at Aughton Institute on Wednesday 10th October.
The final is decided on the number of wins unless it finishes “five across” and then the aggregate comes into play. Starting with a strong first four yielded three winners and an aggregate lead of forty five. Two winners in the second four put the game beyond the reach of Promenade giving five winners and an unassailable aggregate lead of thirty five with only two games to play.The final two games saw one win and one narrow defeat leave the Kestrels overall winners with six wins and an aggregate margin of plus forty one.
Well done the Kestrels.
