Hold the phone… we recorded ONLY 1 wrong bias this week… but plot twist: the same legend managed to do the wrong bias THREE TIMES on the same end!!! 🤦‍♂️🎳💥
A very respectable effort… or should we call it a heroic hat-trick of wrong biases? 😂 Should this count as ONE epic fail… or THREE separate masterpieces? Drop your verdict in the comments below! 👇🔥

Either way, it's a fantastic achievement and ties for the top spot on the leaderboard with Romsey IBC, who still hold the incredible ONE wrong bias record! 🏆 (But let's be real… our hero this week might just have rewritten the rulebook 😏)

Dear Dorset Members,

As we reach the end of another year at The Dorset Indoor Bowls Club, I’d like to thank you for your continued support and for being such a valued part of our community. Whether you’ve been on the rinks, in the clubhouse, or taking part in our socials, your involvement is what truly brings the club to life.

The festive season gives us a chance to look back on the year—those tight heads, well-judged draws, perfectly weighted woods, and all the moments that remind us why we love the sport. It’s been wonderful to see the rinks so well used throughout 2025.

Looking ahead, we’re excited for everything 2026 has in store. Our team remains committed to offering great bowling, friendly service, and plenty of opportunities for you to get the most from your membership.

From all of us here, we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

Lots of great bowling,

Love from The Dorset Team
