BOWLS SURREY NEWSLETTER

Issue 4/2026

Well the season is almost upon us and I for one am looking forward to getting back onto the greens.  Fingers crossed for good weather.  Charlotte.

Competitions

The Bowls Surrey competition draws are out and live on the Comp System.  Please make sure that you enter the names of your team mates.  If someones name is not in the list it means that they have not been affiliated and therefore cannot play in a competition until that affiliation fee has been paid.  This cannot be done retrospectively - If an unaffiliated person plays you will be disqualified!

Matches & County Attire

From this year All County Matches will be played wearing Navy Blue below the waist.  If you need a new shirt, lightweight or waterproof jacket please contact John on infotech@bowlssurrey.com.  He can bring items to the Area Meetings. 

Leightons are no long sponsors of BS so these flashes should be removed. 

We have introduced a 'hoodie' into our available county attire.  However these will only be available for order as we will not hold stock.  There are 3 styles 1) Full Front Zip - 2 pockets 2) Overhead - 2 pockets 3) Overhead - pouch pocket.  Please ensure you order the correct size as per the size chart. The cost is £34 payable on order and the first order will be placed on 17th April and take approximately 5 weeks to arrive. 

Please contact secretary@bowlssurrey.com to order.  When on the greens representing Bowls Surrey ONLY BS Attire can be worn, so please ensure you have everything you need.

Lost Property. A bag with something 'valuable' was found in the ladies changing room at Cheam Fields BC.  If you have lost something in a black rucksack style bag please contact janmhealey@btinternet.com

Are you 'Visually Impaired' or have any VI bowlers in your club.   If so please can you contact secretary@bowlssurrey.com as VIBE are trying to work out how many bowlers are VI.

Area Meetings are coming up and anyone can attend.  If you want to know what is going on in your Area and in the County or if you just want to meet your Area committee why not turn up. This is the best place to have conversations with your Area Committees, the County Secretary and the IT Team.
