WINTER LEAGUES

All leagues have now started and the draws are on Bowlr & the league board.

A list of all current winter leagues plus other playing opportunities can be found on the Bowling Opportunities page. We have one team place available on the Monday 10.30am triples league – call Graham Watson is you want to join as part of a team.

 NEW!!! After the success of the Bowls Drive League run by Graham last season, we have a new Bowls Drive Style Academy League running on Mondays at 12.30pm.  The Neville & Joan Hardy* Bowls Drive League is open to all members particularly those who do not usually play in leagues. 

(* Neville & Joan Hardy were former club members who made a huge impact encouraging new bowlers)

WINTER OPENING TIMES

ANOTHER TITLE FOR HOLLY

Congratulations to Holly Chaytor on winning the EIBA 2024 Summer Ladies Indoor Singles Championship. Another National Title secured and another step towards Holly’s next goal of getting a place at the World Championships via the PBA Qualifiers.  We wish Holly the best of luck in this journey.

 

ELVIS WAS IN THE BUILDING

It was a sell out crowd that enjoyed a night of Rock and Roll for our first Friday Night Gig of the season on 13th September. Tickets are now on sale for Billie-Jo Barrass on 18th October and are selling fast. Bar snacks will be available on the night.

      

         

 

EIBA OVER 60’S MENS SINGLES CHAMPION 2024 IS ….. CLIFF HOLMES

After four tough games at Nottingham IBC, our own Cliff Holmes has come home with the title of English Over 60’s Men’s Singles Champion 2024.   But the trophy is no stranger to Hornsea IBC as it has been won three times over the last five years by three separate players, the others being Dave Tooley and Paul Footitt.

CONGRATULATIONS CLIFF!

 

 

 

 

 

BRITISH ISLES CHAMPIONS 2024

Congratulations to Holly Chaytor, Katy Baxter, and Lydia Cutmore on becoming the British Isles Indoor Bowls Ladies Triples Champions.  After winning the EIBA title last year, the ladies represented England in the British Isles Championships at Falcon IBC in Essex last month.  In a tight game, Holly’s last wood took the jack back to secure not only the title but the overall championship for the full English team. 

Well done all!!
