Tuesday 16th June:
Portishead Ladies & Portishead RBL held their annual Ladies Open Triples Day today
and what a fantastic event it was!
The weather looked a bit dodgy after overnight rain but, thankfully, steadily improved during the day and the standard of bowling was very impressive
Well done to everyone that took part, and the honours were as follows:
1st place - Kingswood & Hanham
2nd place - The Rose Bowlers
3rd place - Olveston
4th place - Begbrook Green
Thank you to all the volunteers from Portishead Ladies & the Poppies for an outstanding
effort in making the day run smoothly.
Thanks also to the cake makers who made some magnificent and delicious cakes, members and husbands who ran the bar, the car park attendant and many others that helped in some way or another.
All the money raised will go towards items that benefit us all at the Club.

We consist of two clubs, men and ladies, both of which belong to The Association of Portishead Bowling Clubs. The Association runs and manages our beautiful site adjacent to the Lake Grounds in Portishead.
This site has two bowling greens each with its own recreation and changing facilities.
Club sessions take place every Monday throughout the bowls season starting at 10.00am. Old and new members participate in these on a regular basis and we are always assured of a good turnout.
Prospective new members or anyone interested in taking up Bowls will be welcome at these sessions and coaching is available for everyone interested in taking up the sport. If you think this might be you, please contact us to arrange a taster session.
2024 Charities
Every year we support a charity from our events, raffles and, for the Men, various fines for indiscretions such as "wrong bias" and "wrong trousers".
For the 2024 season Ladies captain Joy Murray and president Sandra Daisley, have chosen Home-Start North Somerset
and the Men's captain, Dave Taylor, The Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC).
Home-Start North Somerset offer confidential support, friendship, and practical help to parents in
North Somerset with at least one child under five years of age.
"Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if they have little support from family and friends when they need it most. That’s when Home-Start North Somerset can help. Their home-visiting volunteers regularly visit a family, in their own home, offering emotional and practical support to help them through difficult times."
Support is confidential, flexible, and responsive to needs. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) saves lives across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and parts of Wiltshire.
"We provide emergency care to people who are in a state so critical that they require the specialist
skills of our team at the scene of the accident or medical incident. Though we are part of the
regional 999 response service and work closely with NHS hospitals, we are a charity entirely
funded by local people just like you."
