The Better Bowls Day, scheduled for Saturday 21st March, will now take place on the following Saturday 28th March, sorry for any inconvenience.

The day will start at 10am, and finish around 4pm. Please bring your own lunch, and bowl blank. I will have some bowl blanks for sale priced at £10 and £15 each.

The aim, and structure of the day will to improve your bowl turning and inspire you to make better bowl, it is not a bowl turning course because you can all turn a bowl.

Entry to the days event will to members only, and will have a charge of £10 to cover electricity, insurance etc.

Please indicate your willingness to attend by emailing me at

I would like a minimum of three and a maximum of seven attendees.

Thank you, and looking forward to seeing you on the 28th March

The February 2026 Competition Results (Lidded Box) are now available

February 2026 – Lidded Box

The 2026 programme is now on the top tool bar of the web site and is ‘clickable’ as a PDF or web page, so you can save or print as suits you.

The programme is much as the printed version issued in December with the addition of two Saturday events, 21st March, Saturday, BETTER BOWLS session, led by Rolf Buwert

and

 20th June, also a Saturday, Demonstrator’s Training, led by Rolf Buwert

both of the above events are open to members only, are all day (10am to 4pm) and participation is by donation to the club. Bring your own lunch and wood on both days (I will also bring some wood).

 Katie Armstrong RPT is still to get back to us with a firm date for her all day demonstration, and I will update the programme as soon as I hear back.

GWTC 2026 Programme

The club meeting scheduled for tonight 9th December is postponed until 16th due to the inclement weather. Which gives everyone an extra week to finish their competition entries!

The competition results from last night are now available.

Please find below PDF files of the latest results after our December Competition “A Christmas Decoration” and, in fact, the whole year.

Many congratulations to Ken and to Paul, respectively.

I have uploaded my slides as a PDF document and added a link onto the Library > Presentations page. I’ve added a description of the beeswax pellets so you can source your own.

The Wednesday afternoon workshop sessions are now closed and will reopen on Wednesday 8th January.

Enjoy the Christmas/New Year break and we look forward to seeing you in 2025.

Best wishes.
