BREAKING NEWS: Accommodation website goes live for 2026 European Championships

Bowls Europe in partnership with Sporting Highlights is pleased to announce that its dedicated accommodation booking website for the 2026 European Team Championships is now live.
It goes live as organisers celebrate the one-year countdown to the start of the championships being staged at Llandrindod Wells BC, Powys, Wales.
It’s the first time the event has been staged at the three-green Mid Wales venue and promises to be an exciting showcase of top-class bowls with some of the best players competing.
The eight-day event, September 19-26, will feature men’s and women’s singles, pairs, triples and fours competitions, plus para men’s pairs, para women’s pairs and VI mixed pairs.
As well as being a World Bowls Series ranking event, the championships will be the Europe regional qualifying event for the 2027 World Championships being staged at Royal Leamington Spa.
Bob Christie MBE, chairman of Bowls Europe, said: “After the success of the European Bowls Championships in Ayr, Scotland, last September, we are delighted that Llandrindod Wells BC has agreed to host next year's event. We are sure more countries will compete as it gives their national champions a great opportunity of being crowned European champions.
“We look forward to working with Llandrindod Wells BC to make this an exciting tournament of high-class bowling from players across the region."
Sam Roff, secretary of Llandrindod Wells Bowling Club, commented: “The club is delighted to be hosting such a prestigious event, and we thank Bowls Europe for approaching Llandrindod Wells as a host venue. This will be the first time it has been held in Wales and I’m sure competing countries can certainly look forward to visiting the club set in the idyllic rock park in the heart of Mid Wales.
Steve Watson, Sporting Highlights, said: “Sporting Highlights are very honoured to be working alongside the Bowls Europe organisation committee to provide suitable and various types of accommodation in Llandrindod Wells and the surrounding local area to fit every team’s needs and requirements during the European Championships 2026.”

England crowned Titan Wealth European mixed pairs champions

Congratulations to England’s Annalisa Dunham and Dominic McVittie who have been crowned 2025 Titan Wealth European Mixed Pairs champions.
They beat Israel’s Ruti Gilor and Dan Slodownik in the gold medal match at Sun Bowls Club, Jersey, 8-5, 10-4.
Bronze medal winners were Wales’ Emma Gittins and Ross Owen who returned an 8-2, 12-6 scorecard over Spain’s Lorna Cormack and Dave Morrison.
The mixed pairs event is a World Bowls Series ranking event, with the championship medallists receiving silver ranking points.
Twenty-eight players from 14 countries contested the four-day championship which was staging its second edition, the first being played in Tenerife two years ago.
After an enthralling group game stage, with some great bowling on display, it all came down to the wire in Group A, with Wales clinching the top spot on 19 points and Spain finishing second with 16, pipping the current holders Ireland (Zoe Stratton and Stephen Kirkwood) on shot difference.
In Group B, England topped the group with 23 points, amassing a staggering 102 shot difference, their only scare losing one set to the hosts Jersey, with Israel sneaking second place by a solitary point over Switzerland.
And the drama of the group games continued into the semi-finals where England edged Spain in a tiebreak last bowl thriller 11-3, 5-8, 1-0 and Israel took the honours against Wales 6-4, 8-8.
Presentations were made by Bowls Europe chairman Bob Christie MBE, Bowls Jersey’s junior vice president Ethel Southern and head of trading Justin Jouan, of event sponsor Titan Wealth.
A special presentation was made to Bob Le Sueur, greenkeeper at Sun BC, who received a commemorative trophy for the club in honour of their hosting duties.
