The Ambient Bowling season is officially over for this year. For the close season we’ll be heading to the Blue Pig for a series of listening nights. News of the first coming imminently.

Well bowled 🙏

A parched but well trimmed green lies in wait for Ambient bowlers this Sunday.

Polite reminder it’s a cash only bar, and note that all this sun has left organic cider stocks low - feel free to BYOC.

Starting around 1pm through 7pm

Phenomenal evening of bowling. Jack taken into the gutter on two occasions making for an intriguing battle of wits. The newly cut green offering up peculiar behaviour. And the usually steady bowling from the Lancashire contingent suddenly awry owing to an apparently unwanted cider. Well bowled 🙏

A rare foursome. A number of external matters seemed to have an influence on individual performances, not least the sweltering nature of the day.

And though the green could do with a trim, focus was on playing over maintenance, for a change.

Well, well, well (cf Roots Manuva), what a game. Quite possibly the tightest affair the green has seen (in recent times).

The hybrid work attire chap prevailed, despite surges from the other two contenders.

(Very) well bowled 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hot on the heels of the earlier weather doom

VENUE CHANGE

We will now run from 2pm at the Blue Pig, Midgehole, Hebden Bridge (to 7pm latest).

Still cash only, but dry and with a wonderful sound system.

In between downpours there will be boules on the riverside car park.

Well bowled (still) 🙏

*** Ambient Bowling update ***

Our powers of influence over the weather spirits have clearly waned.

Since the bowling looks to be constrained, we’ll be scaling back the gathering to suit the conditions.

We will convene from 2pm and see how we go.

One more thing…

Under the wildlife canopy of soaring buzzards and a(nother) mayfly hatch, a certain northerner channeled the heady spirits of a non-league Wembley visit to the hallowed turf of Hebden Bridge bowling club. A gripping and enjoyable game.
