Home Bowls

Outdoor Crown Green Bowls

SWPAC have 2 teams playing on Wednesday afternoons in the Stafford Veterens Bowling league and
6 playing on Thursday afternoons in the Stafford 55 Bowling League. Both leagues start at the
beginning of April. The Veterens League continues to the end of September and the 55 League until
the end of August. Every team plays an equal number of home and away matches. In both leagues the
match starts with games played by 3 pairs and (usually after a break for tea) 4 singles games; so up to
10 players from each team play each week. The results of the league matches and competitions are
posted on the website bowlsresults.co.uk
Both leagues hold competitions for singles, pairs and triples. Stafford Phoenix runs its own drawn
doubles competition. Currently the fee for each inivdual entering a competiiton is £1. The 2 Riverway
greens are available on Monday afternoons for practice or for social bowling during the bowling
season. It is not necessary to be experienced or an expert to play in a league team, although some
practice would be advisable before joining a league team.
Annual Fees for the 2025 season are:-
Social bowling on Monday afternoons at Riverway greens £14pp
One day as a league player either on Wednesday or Thursday £26pp
Two days as a league player on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons £45. League players can also
use the Riverway greens on Monday afternoons for social bowling or practice
Payment of fees is via a payment slip in the November newsletter. For further information contact

Thank you to Jean Martin

THURSDAY Indoor Bowling Group:

 

Jean Martin has been providing the Thursday Indoor Bowlers with a good selection of refreshments over the past 6 years. 
To mark her achievements the Bowlers presented her with Flowers, Chocolates and Card signed by all her friends. Being a very competitive Bowler Jean is remaining with the group. 
Thanks for everything Jean, we all wish you a long and happy ‘retirement’ from the Kitchen.

In honour of this event, Jean requested that a percentage of surplus refreshment funds, carried forward from previous years, be donated to the deserving Donna Louise Charity, with the balance being used for the groups Christmas Raffle.

‘ As Captain of the Phoenix A Crown green bowling team I would like to congratulate everyone in the team for their support and achievement of winning the second division trophy for the second time and congratulations to Phoenix D for a hard fought battle and becoming runners up.’
After 4 years of Captaincy I will be handing over to Mike Bosson for the 2017 season.  I am sure he will do a fine job of running the team but I will still be there to give him any support he needs.
