Dear Ladies,

I have had the most amazing year, as your President for 2026, it has been an honour and a privilege. Thank you to my own club Amesbury, and to all who have supported me throughout, and I hope I have supported you, we have been there for each other.
Well done in everything you have achieved, I am so proud of you all.
A very special thank you, to you all, for supporting my charity “Teenage Cancer Trust” it means a lot to me, and it is very close to my heart. As you can see we raised a fantastic total of £1,050 to go towards this lovely caring, charity, I cannot, thank you enough.

2026 Finalists

The club hosted the last 8 of the BWL 4s competition. Clubs represented were Amesbury, Box, Chippenham Town, Highworth, Purton and Supermarine.

Amesbury Ladies, Dawn Ford, Jenny Homer, Ruth Canham & Ali Noyes played a team from Chippenham Town BC in the quarter final, winning a close game 22-19 and proceeding to the semi final.

In the semi final they played a team from Box BC, this was a repeat of last season’s County final, when the team from Box BC won on an extra end. The semi final saw a different outcome with the Amesbury Ladies winning 18-13.

The ladies now go on to the County Finals where they will play a team from Highworth and both finalists will represent Wiltshire at the National Finals in August

The club opened its green to the Community to come along and try the game of bowls. The event was well attended with an age range of 6 – 91. There was fun and  laughter on the green, followed by lots of chatting whilst enjoying refreshments. We look forward to welcoming back those who have signed up for follow up sessions with our Coaching team.
