Winter League
Less than a week to go to convince four more new teams to join the Winter League for the 2024-25 season and hit our target of 10 new teams which would take the total to 64 teams in total and set up a competition of 8 divisions of 8 teams in each. In previous years we have never had less than 13 new teams join the League but we may now be reaching our peak as we currently only have six new teams that have applied to join the League.
Most leagues would give almost anything to have 6 new teams for any season but we are a bit more ambitious than most leagues and we like to be different.
Here are a few ways that we are different:
we play outside through the winter months in all weathers
we don't pay any prize money to any of our winners
we charge the absolute minimum in annual fees and about a fifth of any other League
we don't hoard money for a 'rainy day'
we are a mixed-gender league for the over-60s
we have a unique matchday format where 8 teams play on the same green at the same time
teams play once a week but there are matches on 4 days of each week
matches attract more spectators than bowlers
the social side is as important as the playing side on matchdays
If you would like to join us and enjoy the huge social and playing benefits of winter bowling then you have less than a week to register that interest to avoid missing out on another season of winter bowling.
The closing date for new team applications is Monday 1 July which is less than a week away. If you want to learn more about the Winter League then please read 'The Ultimate Guide to Winter Bowling' which will answer many of the questions you are likely to have. Then if you are still interested or have more questions for us then please get in touch by contacting the League Secretary Jeff Jacklin on 07968 171 197 or by email at jefftheref2000@yahoo.co.uk We look forward to hearing from you before the 1st July.
