Any new/replacement kit needs to be ordered and paid for by the end February to ensure that it is here in time for the new season.

Should you require any additional/new HBC Club Kit, please e-mail Denise
(email hidden; JavaScript is required <mailto:denise.c.george@sky.com> ) with your
requirements.

The window is now open for you to enter the national competitions – you enter individually directly through the Bowls England website. Closing date for entry is 1 March 2026

Given that there are 40 matches combined in both the singles and 80up competitions it is imperative that these matches are completed by the 15th of November, as both are only preliminary rounds.

With the pairs having less matches this is less of an issue.

We shall be keeping a very close eye on the progress of these competitions, and unless there are exceptional circumstances we will take the appropriate action to make sure the play-by dates are adhered to.

Please – if you are having trouble arranging matches do not hesitate to contact Allan Weller, David File, or Liz Cargill

The short mat season is now well and truly OPEN

Roll ups can now be booked.

The Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon leagues begin soon as does the very popular Friendship League, which is played Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings.

The cut and thrust of the inter-club leagues is also not far away.

Whatever you wish to play in for the 2025/26 season, enjoy – and good luck.

P.S. Don’t forget to book your competition matches.

Grateful thanks to all those that helped in making this a day to remember for competitors, supporters and aficionados of good bowling

Well done to our County badged players who recently represented the County at Ewell BC
