BOWLS SURREY NEWSLETTER

Issue 7/2026

Hello Everyone.  Well June was a hot one wasn’t it!  Lets hope that the weather in July is more settled and perhaps with a bit of a breeze.  What have you got coming up in July.  If you have any special events that you need promoting please just let me know and I will help with that - Charlotte.

Congratulations to Yasmina Hasan (Southey BC) who played in the Ladies Senior International Series in Scotland this month and to Mike McDonagh (Cheam BC) who played and to Charlotte Emanuel (Cranleigh BC) who was a Director for a Visually Impaired player in the Para International Series also in Scotland. 
All 3 won GOLD medals representing England.

Congratulations to the Southey Ladies and Men and the Egham Ladies who have qualified for Leamington in the County Fours. We have plenty of competitions playing this month.  Please look at the County calendar on our website for dates and locations.

This month is the Commonwealth Games and Bowls is one of only 10 sports and 6 para sports being played.  With the sport being promoted across many media styles are you hosting any recruitment events?  The sport will be thrust into the spotlight and it really would be a good idea to open your doors during this event. Supporters are all most welcome at the following events

Congratulations to the Mens Home Counties League Squad who have made it to the Final for the 3rd year running.  The Final will be played on 18th July at Egham BC at 11am
