Club Competitions
Each Season the Competition Secretary organises a number of Competitions for Club Members. Specifically the events are:
Open Club Championship
Men’s Singles Championship
Ladies’ Singles Championship
Ladies 2-Wood Singles Competition
2-Wood Novices Singles Competition (exclusively for Bowlers who have not won a singles championship)
4-Wood Pairs (Mixed), played over 15 ends
2-Wood Pairs (Mixed), played as best of three sets of seven ends
Mixed Triples Competition
The deadline for entries to these competitions is on a specified date in early April using an entry form that will be provided beforehand to all Club members.
The draw for these Competitions usually takes place approximately one week after the closure date for entries. This draw takes place in the Clubhouse and is an enjoyable social occasion which members are encouraged to attend.
Details of the draw are subsequently posted on the notice board in the Clubhouse together with deadline dates by which competitors must play the appropriate rounds.
Competitors should ensure they are available to play on the Finals Days that are published pre-season in the Fixtures booklet. The rules for these Club Competitions are set out in the attached file.
As well as these main competitions the Club also organises a number of one-day events for which interested members may apply to play on lists that will be posted prior to the event in the Clubhouse.
These events include:
The Derek Dodge Trophy (Men’s Pairs Competition)
The Dave Dennis Plate (Mixed Pairs Competition)
The Heather Lucas Rose Bowl (Ladies’ Pairs Competition) The Jubilee Cup (Mixed Pairs Competition) President's Trophy (Mixed Pairs Competition)
Other single day events are also organised that whilst competitive, are more social occasions and are not recognised as primary Club competitions.
FINALS DAYS 2026
The Club Finals were played on 2 days,, namely September 11th & 13th. Originally these were intended to be played on consecutive days but due to the Club Ladies reaching the final of the Fear Plate, played on Saturday the 12th, arrangements had to be changed. The efforts of Competition Secretary, Glynne Jones in organising the event was much appreciated and it is testimony to her attention to detail that the whole event proceeded without any hitches. Details of the results are provided in the following table..
