Page Park bowlers win  promotion

PAGE Park Bowls Club is marking the end of another successful season with two of the four men’s league teams winning promotion.

The club’s second and third teams have each gained promotion by becoming runners up in their respective divisions.

Page Park B move into Division One of the North East Bristol League, whilst Page Park C move to Division Three of the Bristol & District League.

Also, for the second year running, the club is among the finalists for the Bowls Club of the Year prize, in the prestigious Mirror Club Awards.

The winner will be announced at the Gala Dinner at the Apollo in Leicester, in November of this year.

Away from competition, through various fundraising events during this season we have managed to raise over £1,400 for our adopted charities: Raeyah’s Hands of Support, St Peter’s Hospice and youth charity VIBE.

Subject to approval at this year’s annual meeting, we shall be changing our club colours, and have also raised enough to provide new shirts for over half of our club members.

With league, friendly and competition fixtures, we play approximately 270 matches every season against other clubs.

The superb condition of our green has also made us a venue of choice for hosting county matches by both Bristol City & County and Gloucester Bowls Associations, together with increasing requests to hold local league finals and championships.

We are actively seeking additional sponsorship from local businesses and would welcome enquiries from any business interested in having their logo on our new shirts.

Anyone interested can make contact and find out more information through our website, www.pageparkbowling.org.uk.
