New Season at Bradley Stoke Bowls Club – New Members Welcome

Matters Magazines is very pleased to be supporting the Bradley Stoke Bowls Club this year, whose new season starts in April. There are over 130 fixtures arranged so far, including friendly games, mixed couples, ladies only, men competitions, as well as league matches and inter-club knockout competitions.

It is the second season for the new ‘Bradley Stoke Bowls Club which opened last April utilising the green and facilities at the Baileys Court Acitivty Centre. Bradley Stoke Town Council have supported the group by heavily subsidising the Club s first year. In addition the club has been awarded a grant from South Gloucestershire County Council to be used for the purchase of new equipment to train new bowlers and the club wishes to record its grateful thanks for this generous gift.
Husband and wife Mark and Sue Arnold are now active committee members for the club, having been complete beginners at the game when they joined last April. Sue tells us that the club has a great atmosphere and a really good social element. The Club is proud to be able to offer, free of charge, the services of Mr Jim Gregory who is a qualified Level 2 coach and a member of the Gloucestershire Coaching who will teach you the basics of the game and also help improve your technique as you progress.

The Bowls Club is keen to invite new members to the club and there is a open meeting this Thursday, 31st March starting at 7pm and anyone interested in learning more about the club is welcome to go along. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, or listen to some of the other members and see if it is something you would like to join in with. Membership forms will be available on the night. Yearly subscription is just £50 per member and there is a nominal fee per match of £1.50 to cover tea and biscuits. The majority of the current members are aged 50+, but Sue and Mark are keen to stress that people of all ages and all backgrounds are welcome. They have players in their 30s and 40s right up to the eldest member who is 89! The new website is now up and running, so you can get more information on the club by visiting their website where this year s fixtures are also listed. The first game is scheduled for 17th April.
