Kegworth fixture Thursday 18th April is now AWAY

This will now take place at KEGWORTH not Rothley. Despite all efforts it has been decided to switch the fixture to give our green time to dry out more before having a home fixture.

Thank you

There has been lots of works going on to get the green surround and benches ready for the season.

Huge thanks to those involved. Incredible effort 👌

Green opening delayed

Due to high water table the green opening has been delayed until Wednesday 17th April.

Please be careful when practicing not to damage the green

Defibrillator press release

Joe Humphries Memorial Trust will be releasing press coverage about ‘our’ defibrillator. Rothley Bowls Club and Tennis Club jointly purchased the defibrillator and paid for the installation. JHMT kindly donated the casing as we positioned it outside the gates thus allowing public access 24/7. JHMT also provide training free of charge. A number of our members have undertaken this training but ALL members are encouraged to attend a training course.

Here is a photograph that will be included in the Press release.
