The Thistle was glad to host the Dine Around CT silent auction winner and her friends and family for pizza and drinks! And a fine group of bowlers they proved to be! Future hall of famers!

Surprise Pizza Night at the Thistle! Largest crowd of members and friends, and what a sunset. Even our constipated coyotes who scare the geese took notice! Great night with a great group! And the summer isn’t over yet!

Cinco de Agosto at the Thistle! Margaritas and lawn bowling - quite the combo. And how nice to enjoy a summer night with no rain?

Some played better than usual. Some played worse than usual. All can use Margarita Night at The Thistle as the reason why.

We are loving the new vibe in the club house, new bar, seating, rugs - almost too nice to leave and go bowl! But not quite!

The first night of the Thistle Lawn Bowling Club’s Intro to lawn bowling class! What a talented and fun group of new bowlers! Great night to be enjoying beautiful Elizabeth Park and the game of lawn bowling!

Congratulations to our very own Dave Altimari for winning the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for local reporting! Well done Dave!

For an impressive series exposing how the state’s unique towing laws favored unscrupulous companies that overcharged residents, prompting swift and meaningful consumer protections.
