Welcome

We welcome Chris Barton, Tom Bonner, Steve Hughes and Ken Palin to the club and hope they enjoy a successful 2011 with the Vics. Curtis Tornerup has decided to play for both our Birkenhead and Wallasey teams for 2011 having played for us in the Birkenhead League only last season.

Honours page updated

The Honours page has now been updated with our successful 2010 season results added.

2010 Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting in November turned out to be a lively and at times controversial one. After all the usual Chairman, Treasurer and Captains reports had been given and all the Individual prize presentations had taken place our Notices of Motion section provided interesting and heated debate about the thorny subject of  allowing Lady members into West Kirby Victoria Bowling Club. After several recounts, the Vics members decided that, once again, we would not accept Ladies as members at the Vics. Voting was 16 for and 17 against with 4 abstentions. The go ahead was given for any of our teams winning prize money during a season, for that team to receive a percentage of that money (decided by the Management committee) towards the purchase of new shirts etc or towards whatever that team may decide. Peter Dodd was elected as a Life member of the club in recognition of his services as Secretary for 11 years. The members rejected a proposal to enter the newly formed Merseyside Super League, mainly because of the problems in raising a team for the scheduled Saturday fixtures of that League. With most of our evening teams playing on four and sometimes five nights a week already, it was felt committing to a full Saturday fixture list as well was not possible. The Club will however enter the Cheshire County Bowling Association Brunner Cup for the first time ever in 2011. Although this competition is also held on Saturday afternoons we decided that we could manage to play a possible five or six Saturdays during the season. The Brunner Cup team will be selected from our Wallasey CGBA team with Matthew Gilmore as Captain. We will also be entering the Cheshire County Bowling Association De Knoop Cup in 2011. This team will be selected from our Afternoon teams with Keith Stewart as Captain. We elected a new Vice Chairman with Ian Wilson agreeing to take on this role. Our Management committee will consist of the Club Officers plus all Team Captains and the following elected members, John Brandon, Ian Sherbrooke, Keith Stewart and Bill Tottey. Team Captains for 2011will be John Lloyd (Birkenhead), Malcolm Johnson (Wallasey), Keith Etches (Afternoon “A”), Ian Wilson (Afternoon “B”) and Dave McMurray (Afternoon “C”). Our day out in 2011 will once again be at the excellent Cheshire View, Christleton with the date to be confirmed. Wirral Borough Council have confirmed that all the parks greens maintenance will be going out for tender in 2011 with tenders having to be in by September 2011. This means that all parks greens will be maintained by private contractors in 2012.

Site Reprieve For 2011

Despite reservations as to the time I would be able to commit to keeping this website open, I have decided to give it a go for another year. I will try and be as up to date as possible with all club news and of course results as and when things happen. I would appreciate the help of all team captains again in providing me with their results as quickly as possible after every match.
