    WORTWELL BOWLS CLUB – THE 2023 SEASON SO FAR

    Our season started on 16th April with an open day where people could come along to our green and give bowls a try. We were pleased that as a result we had three new people join us. A warm welcome to David, Maurice & Keith. It’s always nice to get some fresh blood into the club.

    We had a moment of fame towards the end of April when the club were one of the answers to a clue on Radio Norfolk’s Treasure Quest. Our Club President Robert Hadingham was interviewed on the show.

    On 20th May we had our Annual Dinner at Bungay Golf Club where, as usual, we enjoyed a lovely meal and were extremely well looked after. The meal was followed by the presentation of prizes to the winners of last year’s club competitions.

    At the time of writing, we have played seven league matches meaning we are about a third of the way through our season. We have won four matches and lost three and find ourselves in third position in the league which is where we finished last year, just below the two promotion places.  We have progressed through the first round of the Cup via a local derby against Shotford Bowls Club, and are due to play Thorndon Bowls Club in the second round.

    We have had some very exciting close matches this season which has gone some way towards mitigating against the cold evenings we have played in so far. It looks like the warmer weather is here now and we can look forward to some pleasant summer evenings to play the remainder of our matches in.

    Our club competitions are well underway with a few shock results but, here again, some very close matches.

    If you would be interested in finding out more about playing bowls or “having a go” yourself you would be made most welcome up at our green alongside the Community Centre. We have “Roll Ups” Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings where we have casual games in a relaxed fun atmosphere.
