Help Us Keep Our Club in Top Shape - We Need You!

Our clubhouse and surrounding facilities are lovingly maintained by a dedicated group of members who meet regularly during the off-season.  Together, they tackle essential maintenance tasks and improvements to uphold the high standards expected at a club of this calibre.

However, in recent years, the number of volunteers has dwindled, leaving fewer hands to manage an increasing workload.  Without more support, the club may have no choice but to hire external contractors, which would strain our finances and potentially lead to higher membership fees.

We’re calling on all members to step forward and lend a hand.   The work isn’t difficult, and we’re usually done by lunchtime. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bond with fellow members in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  You’re free to take on tasks you feel comfortable with, and even if all you can offer is a cup of tea or coffee, your contribution would be warmly welcomed.

Join us and make a difference – your help keeps our club thriving!

So, if if want to give it a go and join our merry band, have a look below and see what you could be letting yourself in for....

The club is delighted to announce that Geoff Stephens has been awarded Life Membership in recognition of his outstanding service and dedication to GB Britton Bowls Club.

A stalwart of the club for over 40 years, Geoff has made an enormous contribution both on and off the green. A quiet and unassuming man, he has always led by example, earning the respect and admiration of everyone at the club.

An accomplished bowler, Geoff has represented the club with distinction over many years, even reaching the national finals. Off the green, he has been a tireless worker, playing a key role as part of the Tuesday working party and taking responsibility for many of the improvements seen around the club.

Geoff also served as Fixture Secretary for more than 20 years, ensuring the smooth running of matches and events throughout his tenure.

On receiving the award, Geoff said he was “shocked but honoured” to be recognised in this way.
