If you cannot attend and would like to join a team or teams like most, please just mention it to another member who will registrar your interest.
Membership fee is only £10 (waived for new full members).
Coaching will be available and roll up times plentiful (if carpet not being used for matches).
Look forward to seeing you!

Congratulations to Phil Johnson
Congratulations to Phil Johnson on playing his first game for Burnham on Sea Bowling Club, at home against Victoria Park (Bridgwater) today.
Phil is the thirteenth new member to receive a complimentary club shirt for playing for the Club this season.
Thirteen is clearly not an unlucky number for Phil! He contributed very well to a fine win on his rink, helping to make it a clean sweep of wins for the Club.
Phil also played his first in-house competition the night before, narrowly losing in a tightly contested match.

Australian Pairs Match 2023: Results and Photos
Firstly, we must thank Jean Hills for organising a wonderful afternoon of our in-house bowls competition. It looked like everybody had a great time, win or lose and having fun with lots of banter, laughing, encouragement, smiles, and most of all plenty of enjoyment.
There were so many close games – and some not so close – but that is all part of bowls!
The scores at the end were tied with Wendy Emmett and Tim Rhodes, along with Anthony Donnelly and Mary Ryder, each having an impressive plus 14 score. On count back, Wendy and Tim had won more ends, so were declared the overall Champions, 2023. However, well done to all four of you and everybody who took part.
