Improvers Session - Wednesdays at 12pm
We are pleased to introduce our new Improvers Sessions, designed to help bridge the gap for people who are new to the game and would like to progress towards playing in social roll-ups and leagues matches.
The sessions will be run by our coaches, supported by a team of experienced volunteers.
Each session will provide:
A basic guide to playing bowls
Tips and advice to help improve your game
An introduction to bowls etiquette
Guidance and confidence to help you take part in social roll-ups and league games
There is no weekly commitment required – simply come along whenever you are able to make it. However, it would be great if you could let us know if you intend to attend the sessions.
The sessions will then run every Wednesday at 12pm throughout the indoor season.
Interested?

Our Junior Section is Thriving!
Our junior section is going from strength to strength, and we have lots of success to celebrate!
Firstly, congratulations to Evie and Annabella, who both represented Worcestershire in the Amy Rose Competition. They both performed brilliantly and did themselves, their club, and the county proud.
We're also delighted that Campbell, who is also a member of Avenue Leamington but regulary attends our junior section, was selected for Warwickshire's White Rose B Team – a fantastic achievement.
Finally, several of our other young bowlers have been representing Welford in friendly matches, gaining valuable experience and continuing to develop their skills.
It has been amazing to see the progress all of our youngsters have made. Their enthusiasm, commitment, and achievements are a credit to themselves, and we can't wait to see what they accomplish next. Well done to everyone!
Come and join our social roll ups!

Amy and Andy Walters are the new National Mixed Pairs champions after a dramatic run to the title.
They battled through four close matches to reach the final, showing great composure under pressure. The final proved just as tense, with the scores level going into the last end. With everything to play for, they delivered the crucial shot to secure the win - and the championship.
It marks the first time they have entered the competition together since the birth of their children, making the achievement even more special.
Congratulations, Amy and Andy on a fantastic national success!
Welford School Enjoys Bowls Experience
We have been delighted to welcome pupils from Welford School as part of their PE lessons over recent weeks. The school has now completed five of their six scheduled PE lessons at the club, giving children the opportunity to experience the sport of bowls in a friendly and supportive environment.
The sessions have been met with great enthusiasm from the pupils, who have shown real enjoyment and engagement throughout. It has been fantastic to see the children getting involved, learning new skills, and having fun!
Mrs Bird, Year 5 teacher at Welford on Avon Primary School, shared the following feedback:
"At Welford on Avon Primary School, we are passionate about developing links in our local community. Our recent collaboration with Welford Bowls Club has been highly successful in forging and deepening these links and we have been absolutely delighted with the response of our children. We initially started with a 6-week programme of 45-minute sessions that took place during the school day alongside the promotion of the Sunday children’s sessions that the Bowls Club have been running. Every weekend has seen the attendance of more and more children to these sessions, with the most recent session having nearly 40 children in attendance! We are absolutely thrilled with enthusiasm that our children have shown and look forward to seeing how they continue to embrace their enjoyment for bowls!"
The club would like to extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers who generously gave up their time to help run the sessions. Their support and encouragement have been key to making the experience such a success.
