Indoor AGM Thursday 24th 19.00

Hi All Club Members,
Thursday, 7pm on 24th August,  is the Indoor AGM at the Club. 
Please attend if you are thinking of joining us this winter for indoor play. There will be the opportunity at the meeting to select a session (or more) where you join a team for set times to play throughout the season (this is not necessarily a weekly commitment). 
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!
Jim Bass on behalf of June Bridges, Indoor Secretary 

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.

         

Congratulations to both Paul Thomas and Mike Squire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

Congratulations to both Paul Thomas and Mike Squire on  playing their first game for Burnham on Sea Bowling Club at home against the touring team from South Wales, Bryn Bowls Club today and both contributing very well indeed. Only to be let down by the skip on the last end, by converting one up to two down. Then the visiting skip bowling a lovely last bowl to make it three for the end, with our rink losing by one point, well done the skip Jim B but then we are known as the friendly club.

All new members are given a club shirt for playing their first game for the club.
