Picture left is of our member Philip Seymour who raised a lot of funds for the club in his time with us. Pictured with Elliott and Richard from Wallis & Son - our supporter once again for 2024. Sadly Philip passed away a few weeks after this photograph was taken.

Autumn - late October saw our second quiz night which was well attended and raised a good amount of funds to pass onto the greens keeping team!

April - Our annual luncheon took place again this year and was well attended.
March - Our first quiz night was a great success once again and a good profit made to go toward the upkeep of the green!
Completed events in 2020/21
Due to the Covid pandemic not a single fundraising event was able to take place.
Completed events in 2019
27th April 2019 sees out first of two Quiz nights. Always a great evening of fun and frivolity. £10 per ticket buys a great ploughamns supper with dessert.
6th April 2019 is our first of two jumble sales for the year. Doors open at Barton Village Hall at 2pm. Entry 50p for adults (kids go free).
February 2019 saw our annual luncheon well attended by 21 bodies. They enjoyed the food cooked for them by our Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. Rounded off with a great raffle (as always). We raised over £180 from that event. Well done all !
Completed events in 2018
Sponsored Swim 21st November
Our Club Secretary completed a one and a half mile sponsored swim in aid of the greens fund and raised a spectacular £317 at final tally.
Grand Draw 16th May 2018
Earlier this year we received a donation from John Chance (member) which was a voucher to stay at the Old Bridge Hotel in Huntingdon for an overnight break to include evening meal. The drawer took place at the Committee meeting on 16th May and was drawn by our President Hugh Greenfield. The lucky winner was Graham White from Great Shelford Bowls Club. The sales of tickets for this raised another £145 toward club funds.
Quiz night Saturday 21st April 2018
A full house for the Quiz night. Our usual quizmaster Ken Gifford was unavailable (some excuse about having had an operation a few days earlier!) so into his shoes stepped Philip Seymour who did a grand job. Catering was provided by Margaret Seymour and Meta Greenfield, ably assisted by Margaret Robinson on desserts. The quiz was won by just ½ a point by Comberton Bowls Club, so well done to them. Thanks to everyone who attended, supported the raffle and the draw helping us to a fantastic profit of almost £600, which will help toward the cost of the new pump for our irrigation system.
Jumble Sale Saturday 10th March 2018
This proved very popular once again and we made a wonderful profit of over £250 which helps toward the costs of the new irrigation system we are installing. Thank you to all who helped on the day, but mostly to those members of the public who dug deep into their pockets on the day !
Social Luncheon Saturday 24th February 2018.
We had a very successful first social event of the year. A well supported social luncheon at the Pavilion with both players and much valued social members in attendance. Our thanks to Meta, Ken G and John Watts (famous for cooking for the Queen!) for their culinary skills and to the members who provided desserts for us all. We also had a very successful raffle with prizes donated by members.
We all had a great time and the profits will be help toward the irrigation system. (We will reach our target eventually!)
