Alan, the organiser, wants to reach out to the sports community with a personal message about Bredon Bowling Club. He recalls with fondness the joy and friendships the club has given him. Now, with an increasing number of members, a thriving junior section, more matches, and improved facilities, it remains a wonderful place to be. Alan is proud to be part of Bredon Bowling Club, a club truly for everyone, no matter their age or ability.
For those seasoned bowlers or complete beginners, Bredon Bowling Club offers a warm and friendly environment to meet new people, socialise, and enjoy lawn bowls. Located in Tewkesbury, the club has one of the best greens in the county, with seven rinks providing ample space for play. The well-stocked bar adds a relaxing spot for socialising after a game, whether it's a casual roll-up or competitive match.
The club hosts various regular matches and leagues suitable for all skill levels. The Monday League, Tuesday Men's Triples, and the Concorde League offer ample opportunities to compete and improve. Coaching sessions are available for new and potential members to develop their game and refine their technique.
Bredon Bowling Club isn't just about competition. Alan ensures a variety of social events are organised throughout the year, from raffles and competitions to Bingo nights, Burns nights, and Irish nights. The club’s famous Race nights during the “closed” season add extra excitement and fun.
Inclusivity is a key aspect of Bredon Bowling Club. As a member of Disability Bowls England (DBE), the club welcomes members of all abilities and disabilities, creating an accessible environment. Whether you wish to play bowls or simply enjoy the social scene, there’s a membership option for everyone.
The club also has a strong community spirit, frequently hosting touring sides from other clubs and building relationships throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.
Alan shares a member’s sentiment: “We wanted something to do together rather than watching telly every evening. At Bredon Bowling Club, we were welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment. It didn't matter that we were beginners; we were included in games and supported by experienced bowlers. We can't imagine being part of any other club now."
Whether you're an experienced bowler seeking a new club or someone new wanting to try the sport, Bredon Bowling Club welcomes you. With its welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities, and diverse activities, it is a great place to meet people, socialise, play, and compete.
