Welcome to the Avanti
Hotel Bowling Club where experienced bowlers, new bowlers,
visiting bowlers and holiday bowlers will be guaranteed a happy
and friendly welcome.
Some of you may remember us
as the Louis Phaethon Bowling Club which was in existence for
eight years before we changed venues in April 2011 and moved
down the road to the Avanti Hotel, here in Kato Paphos, Cyprus –
on the “Island of Love”!
We have a six-rink
artificial all-weather green and thanks to the wonderful Cypriot
climate we play outside for virtually all the year.
We have something for
everyone. While the green is available seven days a week, we
play club roll-ups on three days – Monday afternoons, as well as
on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. |
We also have club
competitions throughout the year, play league matches against
other clubs on the island and have a number of games against
visiting clubs from the UK in the winter months (when the sun is
usually still shining).
On top of that we have
a very good social calendar with organised activities most
months including dinner dances, games evenings, quizzies, the
occasional visit to the Nicosia racetrack and local wineries and
even a donkey safari!
We
cater for all.
· If
you are … new to the island and would like to have a go at
bowling, then come along and meet us, watch the club in action
and have a chat. We will be very pleased to see you and if you
need any help on how to bowl, we have top-class coaches
available to help you free of charge.
·
If you are … a visitor over for a
few weeks or months, come along and join us on a temporary
basis.
·
If you
are … a club looking for a venue for your next – or first –
bowls tour, contact our
Match Secretary and, better still, log on to our hotel
website
www.avantihotels.com where you will
find excellent accommodation at very good prices.
We
are members of Bowls Cyprus, the national association for
bowling in Cyprus which has an international squad that has
already competed in many competitions throughout the world. In
fact, the Avanti Hotel Bowling Club has members competing in the
teams and also has some of its members holding important
positions in the association.
However, if it is just a friendly bowl you want, we are the club
for you. Just email the
Secretary or Membership Secretary and
we will make sure you receive all the information you require –
and that happy and friendly welcome will be waiting for you.
Roger Shire- Club Captain.
