A FIFE Bowling club is hoping later hours will help as it attempts to cope with costs going “through the roof” in the past year.
Coaltown of Wemyss Bowling and Social Club had a bid to change its opening hours approved by Fife Licensing Board on Monday.
Speaking at the hearing, club secretary Jack Ridley said they want to extend the hours on Fridays and Saturdays by one hour.
“As a small club over the last 12 months, the balance sheet says we have increased our sales by about 30 per cent but unfortunately we are still standing still – there is nothing to show on the bottom column,” he said.
“We thought the extended hours might bring in a little more revenue.
“The costs of the bowling club have gone through the roof this year particularly and we have got to find some way of finding more revenue an that is why we have applied for this.”
Board members unanimously agreed to grant the application to vary the club’s current licence.
