On Monday 29th July Swanage Bowls Club hosted the Regatta Trophy Bowls Drive and raised £125 for local charities as part of Swanage Carnival week

The winner in the men’s section was Neil Stow, from Moordown;  a seasoned bowler and a member of Moordown Bowls Club.

The winner of the Ladies’ section was Jasmine Cornelius, from Barking in London. Her main sporting interest is track and road cycling, and she is a member of cycling’s  London Academy.

The trophies were presented by Swanage Bowling Club Chairman, Terry Buck.

Thank you to everyone who volunteers to ensure that our Club continues to thrive. Everyone who gives time; from running the Club as a Committee member, keeping the gardens beautiful, feeding and watering the hungry bowlers, setting up the rinks, driving to matches, captaining a team or behind the scenes.

THANK YOU ALL

SWANAGE BOWLS CLUB WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT YOU

We have 2 further Have a Go sessions on Sunday 12th May at either 10am or 2pm. Just turn up in flat shoes and all equipment will be provided, along with help from friendly Club members. We’d love to see you.

The Club competition draws have been made, internal league competitions began last week as did the first weekend of mixed triples. We are underway!

To plagiarise one of our beloved Club members; “Enjoy, play to win, make people happy and no fisticuffs”

Have a great season everyone

The greenkeeper and his team have been treating, mowing, rolling and gently encouraging the green back to its pristine condition in time for the new season. The gardeners and grounds folk have been digging, weeding, sowing, planting and tidying. A party of willing members will meet on the 30th to wash, scrub, wipe, and shine the Pavilion and anything else that stands in their way. The Committee has been planning and organising ahead of the President’s Coffee Morning on 12th April.

The season begins on Friday 13th April with the Opening Day Match followed by Fish and Chips.

From Monday 15th April practice sessions begin and the season proper gets underway in May.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE AND WILL WORK HARD TO ENSURE SWANAGE BOWLING CLUB IS READY FOR 2024.
