Thank you to Tesco’s Community Champion Laura who donated a range of goodies to use as raffle prizes for the club’s Centenary matches with all the proceeds going to club development, volunteers training and equipment.

Visiting players and guests enjoyed  a prematch buffet lunch. The Bowls England team led by BE Vice President Kim Harris was made up with players from counties across the country. The match was played in a friendly competitive spirit, with Amesbury winning 114 – 81 shots. An after match meal was served in the clubhouse. A great day to mark the club’s centenary.

Monday saw the club open its doors and welcome people to have a try at bowls as part of the BBW.

Some of those who attended have already signed up for follow up sessions.

Proceeds from refreshments raised an amazing £140.55 for Cancer Reasearch UK.

Thank you for your generosity

Jenny Homer, Dawn Ford, Ruth Canham and Ali Noyes played in the final stages of the Ladies County 4s competition, beating a team from Box BC in the quarter final. They then went on to play a team from Box BC skipped by Alex Jacobs in the semi final, a close match but came out winners 20 -17.

Good Luck when they play the County Final and then go on to represent Wilthire in the National Championship Finals in August at Royal Leamington Spa.

Amesbury Ladies having won the Salisbury & District Ladies League in 2024, start this season with a home match v Wilton Ladies. A great start with an 8pts – 2pts win.

Thank you to County Carpets who are the team sponsors for this season.

Club members commemorated VE Day with a social roll up. A 2 minute silence was held at 12noon to remember those that were lost.
