I think we did both the Isle of Wight and us proud in Cyprus. It was a real team effort, just like when we won the National Title in 2023. There were no stars, everyone did their bit, and each had their 'spotlight' moment. We were so close to having the opportunity to come home with a medal - can't help thinking that the silver South Africa took home could so easily have been ours, but that's bowls for you, losing two games by one shot. To have such a fantastic opportunity to play against quality bowlers from all around the world is just a dream for most grassroots bowlers. Standout moments would be playing against the international team from Ireland, seeing the team from Botswana watching their national flag being hoisted and singing the National Anthem when one of our mixed teams from England won gold medals in the Mixed Plate. Fantastic memories

This page typically features a mix of the latest news, feature stories of projects undertaken, and updates from our world of bowls.

Our social committee plays a vital role in organising and coordinating a wide range of social nights, events, activities and functions for our club. It consists of one social manager, who is elected annually and assistants. We are always looking for fresh ideas and welcome other members, from all membership categories, to join the team.

These events not only provide an opportunity for members to socialise, interact, and have fun but also help raise important funds for the club by providing catering and bar facilities and holding prize draws.

From quiz and race nights to bingo, themed parties and summer BBQs, the social committee tries to ensure that something is always happening or planned at the club.

If you have any ideas for social functions, please let one of the committee members know so they can consider them at their monthly meetings.

Your committee members for 2025-26 are:
Social Manager: Steve Jones
Chair: Sue Davies
Assistants: Angel Brown, Amy Emerton, Kelvin Muddiman, Colin Tompkins, Tina White, Kathy Stennett, and Lyn Wilson
