Although regular entertainment is no longer provided in the
Clubhouse,
members should watch the notice boards, as there will be
entertainment at some times during the season. There is also a comfortable lounge
with television for a more relaxed evening.
A
full member can hire the use of the hall for a function
(e.g. birthday party, anniversary etc.) and catering can be
provided by the ladies of the Club at very competitive
rates. Outside caterers, with necessary hygiene
qualifications, are allowed to use
the excellent kitchen facilities at a small surcharge. The
hire of the hall has been extended to include requests for
functions on Saturday evenings.
The outdoor season starts early April and the green closes
in early October. During the season there are numerous
ladies, gents and mixed friendly fixtures played against
other bowling clubs. There are also internal competitions
played throughout the season and the club plays in the
Wemyss & District League, which has a Senior League, as well
as a Championship League of eight clubs and a Division 2 of
eight clubs, with promotion and relegation between the two
leagues. The Wemyss League also have their own singe hand,
junior single hand, pairs, senior pairs, triples and rink
competitions which members can enter, if they desire.
The Club also plays in the Kirkcaldy District Triples
League, with nine players required for games being played
every Tuesday evening.
When the green closes in October the carpet bowling season
starts with internal competitions and league fixtures
against other local clubs. The hall in the clubhouse is
large enough to lay two carpets and carpet bowls are played
during the day and in evenings.
