A successful season

What a fabulous season Tetbury Bowls has had so far!


Our men’s team clinched the title in Division 4 of the South Cotswold Bowls League. The ladies’ team made it to the semi-finals in the Gloucestershire (South) section of the Top Club competition. A men’s team also reached the Stroud Section final of the senior fours, narrowly missing a spot at the Bowls England National Finals in Leamington by just two shots. Additionally, one of our players emerged as the Gloucestershire ladies unbadged singles winner. Congratulations to everyone who competed in the county and national competitions!


A heartfelt thank you must go out to all our supporters – the greenkeepers, captains, supportive spectators, and those who provided refreshments. It was truly a club effort!


The Aviva Bowls England National Finals were held in late August in Royal Leamington Spa. This 18-day festival is the high point of English lawn bowling and a dream for our competitive players. Many of us split our time between playing at home, watching the live-streamed matches, or traveling to Victoria Park to support local teams.


September’s fixture schedule, including our club competition finals, is available online at www.tetburybowlsclub.co.uk/diary. There’s plenty of exciting bowls action to enjoy before our closing gala on Sunday the 22nd of September. We have the final rounds of the juniors’ competition, other club competitions, and the last remaining friendlies, all promising great watching for spectators.


As the school term begins, we will restart our Monday after-school short mat programme for year 5 or 6 students at St Mary’s. Over 4 or 5 sessions, participants will learn the basics of bowls – setting up the mat, delivering the bowl, understanding the rules, scoring, and measuring – and play short games. St Mary’s will notify parents with the details, and since spaces are limited, early sign-up is recommended.


During the off-season winter months, we are planning Friday evening social events to keep our members connected. If you’re interested in joining us as a social member, please get in touch via email at tetburybowls@gmail.com or complete the online membership form at www.tetburybowlsclub.co.uk/membership.
