AGM preliminary date set:
A preliminary date of March the 8th 2008 has been set for the clubs AGM.
We hope to see you all there.
New Team
To assist in the development of members, it has been decided this season to enter a second team into the mens' league. It is hoped that the experiment will have long term benefits to the playing members of the club and help to encourage new members in the future. More players are now having the opportunity to play at a competitive level away from the club, and in the future results should improve. Good luck to all the teams put out by Dunbar Bowling Club, and pull your socks up. It would be pleasant if during the second half of the league fixtures, the teams could show an improvement and climb up the table from their present positions in their leagues.
It is nice when teams do well, however to- date in the mens' leagues, both teams are having difficulty collecting points.
Thanks must go to the more experienced members of the 'division 4' side who are passing their experience to the newer players.On a personal note it, is good to see Chris Robertson now taking a more active role in the club after his accident. He has started playing this season and attending committee meetings, and his presence is having an impact on those around him.
No matter the results, enjoyment is the name of the game and it is to be hope that all players are finding the experience worth while, and enjoyable.

A good night was had by all that attended, and lots of money was raised for charity.
A special thank you must go to all who helped with the evening, especially the bar convenor.
Without your assistance the night would not have been the success it was.
CONGRATULATIONS MUST GO TO:
Tommy Young for reaching the finals of 'Champions of Champions' held at CastlePark Bowling Club.

Future Entertainment and Competitions
A fixture was held with Doune Castle Bowling club from near Stirling, on the 20th and a good time was had by all. The drink flowed freely and the game was won by a short head by Doune Castle. Seriously, in this type of game the winning is second to having a good time with friends, and it was nice to see the new members taking part, and showing the more experienced members how the game should be played. Indications are that contact will be maintained with Doune Castle and arrangements will hopefully be put in place for Dunbar to travel to Doune in the future.
