The opening of the new bowls season coincided with the finishing of the upgrade to the Men’s toilets. Thanks to a community grant from the Wellington Shire we have improved the facility and made it safer. We appreciate the financial assistance from the Shire which enabled us to undertake these works to improve accessibility for members and visitors. Club members assisted with the task of removing the concrete step and dismantling the dividers. Special thanks to all the members who helped.

A sport-loving teenager who turned to bowls after being diagnosed with a joint condition, wants to see more young people take up the game.

Thomas, from Bedfordshire, was diagnosed with Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) in 2023 after feeling his arm "pop" during a swimming competition.

He tried to carry on swimming and playing football, but things became "increasingly difficult" for him, so he took up bowls after attending an open-day at Leighton Buzzard Bowling Club.

Sunday 30th of August was opening day for the season 2026-2027. We thank the family of Dick Savage who sponsored the event in memory of their Dad.
Blessed with a sunny afternoon many club members enjoyed activities and games organised by our Board members. Life members Bev Thatcher and John Brisbane were on hand to open the season. Bev sent down the first kitty and John bowled the first bowl! After that random teams of two or three members played two games of 6 ends. This was followed by a great afternoon tea. All agreed it was a great day.

Sunday social Bowls:

It is sad to say that we have played our last Sunday socials for the season. On a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon 14 teams competed playing two games of 10 ends on 23 August Jan Paine and Dennis Carstairs won convincingly with a score of 22.
