Chestertown Recreation Commission announces the return of the wildly successful Ye Olde Town Bocce League. Begun last fall and enjoyed by players of all ages, the Bocce League was a huge hit. Bocce, or lawn bowling is a great activity for players of any skill level and proved a terrific way to spend an evening with our neighbors.
Plans are to hold matches on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30 once again in Wilmer Park. The league has added a second night in anticipation of additional teams joining. Play will begin the week of April 28th and carry through the week of June 16th. Playoffs will follow during the next 2 weeks, allowing us to conclude the season by July 1.
The fee will be $25 per person and teams of up to 6 persons will be $ 125, (sign up 5, get one free). Teams are permitted to have more players if they like however, members beyond the 6 will each have to pay $10 for a shirt.
All proceeds go towards league equipment and towards the construction of a permanent bocce court to be built in town.
Anyone interested in being involved can email our bocce guru Frank Hurst at [email protected], or in person by signing up in the park during the farmers market.
The Chestertown Recreation Commission is a official branch of the Mayor & Council’s office charged with improving recreational opportunities, programming and facilities in the town. The CRC meets monthly at Town Hall, and welcomes any and all ideas from the community. Those interested, please email us at [email protected].
