Winter League
Two more teams have applied to join the Winter League for the 2024-25 season taking the number of new team applications to 6 with less than two weeks to go to the closing date. We expect to be able to confirm those team names shortly but still need another four new teams to come forward to 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.
Here is a brief look at what winter bowling is all about:
teams are made up of 4 bowlers who can be of any gender
matches are played of 2 Singles and 1 Pairs games
bowlers must have passed their 60th birthday to qualify to bowl
you don't use your own green in the League as each division is allocated a host green that they play on all season
teams play once a week on the same day of the week throughout the season
matches are played on Mondays to Thursdays
matches are played from October to mid-February
there is a two-week break over the Christmas period
League fees are £15 per team per season
weekly match fees are £12 a team (£3 per bowler) which all goes to the host green which covers green fees, raffle ticket, hot drinks and biscuits for each team member.
hot drinks along with hot and cold food are always available for spectators at a modest charge.
The closing date for new team applications is Monday 1 July which is less than 2 weeks away.
