Club Luncheon and Presentation of Trophies
Club members and friends came together to celebrate the end of the 2025 Outdoor Bowling Season with a luncheon at the Batch Country House, Lympsham. Festive Jumpers were the optional attire of the day which matched the Christmas menu.
Trophies were presented by outgoing Presidents Sylvia Lupton and Bob Brown to those who achieved success in competitions throughout the season.
Thanks go to Vince Ford and Jean Hills for organising the competitions and to all those who entered into the spirit of the games, had fun and were happy to win or come a close second!
A raffle was held which was generosity supported by donations of prizes and the sale of so many tickets. Jean may not have won a trophy this year, but she made up for it in the raffle!
Thanks are extended to Don and June Bridges for organising the lunch which was a great success.
If you are thinking of joining the Club next season there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved. We offer a variety of competitions at various levels, although some members play purely for fun and relaxation. The Outdoor Season begins mid April 2026 so watch out for more information on this site or on our Facebook page.
Somerset Bowls Association Luncheon & Presentation of Trophies
On 2nd November 2025 at the Batch Country House members from our club attended the annual luncheon along with 270 others. The principal guest was the Chair of Bowls England, David Tucker.
Attendees enjoyed a lovely lunch and some informative speeches. These were followed by the presentation of trophies to bowlers from across the county who had achieved success in various competitions and leagues last season.
Don, with support from June, organised this event, as they have done for several years. The afternoon ran smoothly and Don was commended for his work and June was presented with a bouquet of flowers. The event concluded with a raffle.
Members will be encouraged to participate in county competitions and leagues next season. Details of how to get involved are posted on the SBA website and will be communicated to members when our secretary is advised. There is something for everyone, so let’s see if we can get our club’s name in lights next year!
