Peter Boyle Bowling Club want to play a part in addressing social isolation and loneliness and foster healthy, safe and inclusive communities within South Ayrshire. We want residents to come along to the club throughout the year and enjoy various activities, socialise and improve their health and wellbeing. In order to do that we want to have one of the best bowling clubs in Ayr. By addressing these areas we aim to attract residents in local communities, family and friends to the club. This in turn will encourage others to book parties, which is our lifeline as the membership fees alone do not cover the green maintenance costs.

In relation to the bowling green, we would like to put in artificial banking and purchase a sorrel roller for aerating the green. The roller provides a good drainage and is good way to get nutrients, water and air into roots for healthier grass. It is also less disruptive to the surface and carried out on a timelier basis.

At the side of the clubhouse, we have a new seating area outside for bowlers, social members and visitors to enjoy. We also chipped the seating area. This was all made possible due to the grant funding we received last year. However, there is still a large area that requires to be chipped. This would make the surrounding area aesthetically pleasing and will future proof the area, should we wish to extend the seating area in the future

In relation to the clubhouse, we recently painted the inside and replaced the bench seating thanks to the previous grant. However, the tables and chairs are over 30 year old and are in urgent need of replacement. This will make the function room more welcoming to members and visitors alike. The benefit being more functions and income generation to assist with every day running costs of the club. The dance floor also needs re-buffing and varnished as like the tables and chairs it is looking very tired and is in need of improvement. It has not been re-buffed since the floor went down over 30 years ago. We recently purchased speakers so that we can host our own entertainment but we need a laptop. This would mean we can host our own entertainment, thus reducing entertainment costs.

We are a women's group supporting health and well being, we brought the group together to bring other out of isolation, to prevent lonliness and help meet new people. Thriving Communities give us the space in the Library to do this. We meet weekly and our group has grown in numbers from the start, although we have a Facebook page word of mouth tends to be the best advertisementof our group. Its the women's voice that counts, they choose what they want to happen within the group and some of the other ladies make it happen by organising the activities or guest speakers that will tie in with what meets the needs of the group. Any funding we recieve would be a bonus for us as up until now we have paid for everything on or own.
