To date we have lost two teams, Preston Brockhurst A & B, but will be welcoming three new teams: a third team from Baschurch, a second team from Castlefields and a fourth team from Craven Arms which will bring the total up to 62 teams with 14 teams playing in Div 1 and 12 teams in Div's 2 to 5

The 2026 fixture list will be published online on the afternoon of February 28th

The Pre-Season Meeting will be held on Monday March 9th at Meole Brace BC starting at 2:00pm when all score cards, results sheets and paperwork will be handed out so a representative from each club needs to attend to collect their package.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING FOR 2025 SEASON

Please note that at the AGM a rule change was voted in regarding a re-arranged match (Rule 10h) and this new rule is copied below with the relevant change in red:

When rearranging a match, the relevant team Captain must first inform the Results Secretary, then contact their opponents to agree on a new match date within 15 days of the original match date (in the case of a penultimate week match within 8 days) and then inform the Results Secretary of the new agreed playing date. However, if the match is the last match of the season, a postponement will not be allowed except for weather/ground conditions or a funeral affecting the team, although in the latter case the match date should be brought forward if at all possible. If neither team can agree on a new playing date then each captain must put forward three playing dates and each pick one date from the other captain’s suggested dates and then play the match on two separate dates using a 3-3 format or, if both teams agree, a 4-2 format.

Where a rearranged match has not been played within the 15 (or 8) day time period, the Fixture Secretary will automatically impose a penalty deduction of three points to both teams followed by 1 point per week until the match is played. The deduction(s) will be applied from their accumulated points scored to date

MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM

This form is for bowlers to fill in, place in an envelope (sealed if you wish) and keep in your bowls bag at all times. If you suffer a medical emergency whilst at a match, the form can be handed to a first responder/para-medic at the scene and could save your life.

It is up to you whether you fill in the form or not. If you do, it is recommended that you inform your team captain, vice-captain and fellow team members so others are aware that you have this form in your bowls bag. The form is available for downloading and printing off from the green area on the left hand side of the screen by clicking on “MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM”

Suitable Footwear at League Matches

This is a reminder regarding the BCGBA rule on open toed footwear which states:

Law 10.3: Suitable footwear must be worn. Hard or block-heeled footwear, or open-toed footwear must not be worn whilst on the green in any match played under the Association’s jurisdiction. The offending player(s) shall receive no further score and the opponent(s) shall receive the maximum score.

No interpretation of this Law allows a player to play in only socks/stockings or in bare feet.

As all our matches are played under the BCGBA's jurisdiction this means that any player not conforming to the above cannot play in a League match unless they are wearing approved footwear

Club Contacts

If you have to contact another team captain or club official, you need to log on using your club password (as if you are entering your home match results), and then select Club Contacts which will open up a new page displaying contact names and telephone numbers.
