July 25, 26, 28 & 29 - The Rooney Open Doubles This competition is your chance to watch some of the cream of modern crown green bowling play to win the Rooney Open Doubles. The preliminary rounds are played over 4 nights culminating in a nail biting finals day playoff’s This is a chance to dispel some myths – many people do not view it as a competitive sport. Like all sports, it is! Many of the best bowlers today have played competitive team sports such as: cricket, rugby and football, to a good standard. For whatever reason, they were not able to continue with these sports. Crown green bowling offers a similar competition and challenge with a sport they enjoy. Combining the individual one on one aspects of golf and snooker into a team environment. Where 8, 10 or 12 players can compete as a team in leagues and cups. CLICK FOR MORE INFO
July 30 - Longton Community Cinema - Phantom Of The Open THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf before. With pluckiness and unwavering self- belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process. Starring Academy Award® Winner Mark Rylance as Maurice, Academy Award® Nominee Sally Hawkins as his wife Jean and BAFTA nominee Rhys Ifans as his nemesis Mackenzie. The extraordinary story of an ordinary man, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN is an uplifting and moving comedy drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars, no matter what hand you’re dealt.
