OUR YOUNG BOWLER IS MAKING HEADLINES! 📰👏

We’re incredibly proud to see our young player Thomas featured in a BBC News article as he takes on something much bigger than what happens on the green!

Thomas is campaigning for bowls to be recognised and included in GCSE and A Level sports qualifications — challenging the education system and exam boards to recognise bowls alongside other sports. 🎓

But his campaign isn’t just about qualifications. Thomas is passionate about encouraging more young people to discover bowls, showing that it is a sport that offers skill, strategy, competition, teamwork and opportunities for all ages.

At a time when we’re always hearing about the need to get young people more active, Thomas believes it makes sense to give them the opportunity to study and develop a sport they genuinely enjoy.

And what better way to champion that than by doing it himself? 💪

From representing Bedfordshire to competing in county competitions, Thomas is showing that young people absolutely belong on the bowls green.

We’re proud to support him and his campaign and hopefully this is just the beginning of getting bowls the recognition it deserves. ❤️💙

👏 Well done, Thomas — keep challenging the system, keep raising the profile of bowls and, most importantly, keep encouraging the next generation!

🎙️🎯 WHAT A MORNING FOR LEIGHTON BUZZARD BOWLS CLUB! 🎯🎙️

A huge well done to Carlene and Thomas, who did an absolutely fantastic job this afternoon on 3 Counties Radio, talking about the campaign to get bowls more widely recognised and included within GCSE and A Level sports qualifications.

There was a really important message behind the interview — young people should have choice when it comes to the sports they can study. Not every young person wants to play football, rugby or the traditional mainstream sports, and bowls has so much to offer in terms of skill, strategy, concentration, accuracy, fitness and competition.

Thomas spoke brilliantly about his own experience of finding bowls, the confidence it has given him and how much he has achieved in a relatively short time. 💙

Carlene has been working tirelessly behind the scenes, contacting MPs, Ministers, the Department for Education, exam boards and bowls organisations to make sure this issue is heard.

And today, they took that message to the airwaves! 📻👏

We are incredibly proud to have Thomas representing our club and to have Carlene championing not just bowls, but young people having the opportunity to find the sport that is right for them.

The interview might be done, but the campaign continues…

Next stop: THE PETITION! ✍️🎯

Well done both — you did Leighton Buzzard Bowls Club proud! 👏💙

Good luck to both teams — let’s hope for some great bowls and a fantastic match! 👏
