Summary of 2017
|
2017 was a very interesting year both on and off the green. 2017 saw Blackwood unveil its new club house facility to the rest of the bowling fraternity. A mark of the work and dedication by the club committee and in particular, project manager Allen Witchell, the facility has proven to be an immense asset to the club and has opened up unlimited possibilities. Indeed it has already attracted new members and we now have 47 playing members.

On the green there was a mixture of success and failure.
The W.B.A campaign saw Blackwood fail to get out of the group having lost away to Caldicot.
The M.B.A. league started poorly with Blackwood for the 2nd year running failing to win its 1st 5 matches and we were soon at the bottom of the league. However 6 wins out of the last 9 games saw us climb to 5th in the league missing out 4th position by just 2 points.
G.B.L - This was a disappointing year for the GBL side with Blackwood losing by just 1 shot on three occasions and this made a difference as Blackwood were relegated trailing by 13 points.
The R.V.B.A was another solid performance as Blackwood achieved 2nd place and was a product of the new "mix and match" thinking of bringing 1st and 2nd team players together in an attempt to promote better bowls and club togetherness.
The R.V.B.A league came as a big supersize this year as Blackwood just kept winning. It was a very close run thing between Blackwood, Merthyr west end and Guest memorial, but it was a great away win at Guest which sealed Blackwood's position in the promotion battle to division 1.
MBA/Islwyn cup - A poor loss away at Newport Athletic and the Islwyn cup was a loss away at Abercarn.

Club morale was great both on and off the green. Numerous social nights were organised by our hard working social committee. Fish and chip nights, cabaret acts, disco's, racing night and karaoke's proved to be a big success generating much needed revenue for the club as well as increasing the great club spirit.
Morale is further boosted by the annual club tour. This year we went to Newquay Cornwall. Always fully subscribed, the tour is welcome relief from the pressures of league bowls. The good organisation is thanks to Norman Simkin and Allen Witchel.
