The 2025 season is officially underway

Sunday the 13th of April was the start of the bowling season for Tetbury Bowls Club and it was the first time many of the players were able to sport their new Club shirts.  Over 40 members turned up on the Sunday to play a friendly game of bowls to get the lawn bowls season underway.

After a group photograph the very first bowl of the season was delivered by long time member Angela Wildsmith which officially acted as “Opening The Green” for the season. Angela explained to those present that she first joined the Club in the 1960’s and has enjoyed many years of friendship and exercise at the Club.

The members then played a game known as a “Spider” which was immediately followed by an 18 ends game of bowls.  The winner of the Spider was Glyn Hall.  Members made a donation in playing the “Spider” which will be donated to Tetbury Hospital.

Home games that are coming up in May are Saturday the 3rd of May against Begbrook Green, Wednesday the 7th of May against Page Park, Thursday the 15th of May against South Cerney, Saturday the 24th of May against Supermarine, and Saturday the 31st of May against Chepstow.  All matches start at 2.30 pm.

During May the Ladies start their league games on Monday evenings staring at 6.30 pm whilst the men play their league games on Tuesday evenings, also starting at 6.30 pm, with Sunday morning league games starting on the 25th of May at 10.30 am.

Our Junior section starts on Sunday the 11th of May at 10.00 am and we would welcome any under 18 Juniors who would like to try the game of lawn bowls.  We are very pleased to announce that one of our Juniors, Jack Garland, has been selected to represent Gloucestershire Juniors against Oxfordshire Juniors in an away game to be played at Oxford City and County Bowls Club.
