Thurso Branch Purchase Advertising Support Board at Thurso Bowling Club.

Thurso Bowling Club Management Committee member Brian Tewnion said: “Like all other community sports clubs, we recognise the difficult times we are all going through just now, and we are striving to make the efficiencies required to ensure our club survives.  

At Thurso Bowling Club we make ourselves open to the local community.  For instance, at an open day, local people can come along and try playing bowls.  At the end of our season, we attracted 12 new members which will bring our membership to greater than 100 for next season.  

We have also appointed a wellbeing protection officer, and this will enable us to host sessions with schools and other community groups next year.

Brian continued: “We are fortunate to have a few returning sponsors each year, but we are always seeking more contributions.  The more support we get into the club means membership fees and game entries can be maintained at an affordable level.  

Last year was first time we offered advertising boards around the bowling green, and we had a lot of interest including the team at our local William Wilson branch.”

Thurso Branch Manager Stevie Bruce commented: “I was delighted to offer some support to Thurso Bowling Club.  In fact, if my creaking knees can stand it, I might pop down for a game!”
