Friday 3rd June
What a fabulous, fun afternoon combining The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations with
competing for The Spilling Cup, together with the ‘Reserves’ games on the top rinks.
The Spilling Cup is a match where mixed teams from Portishead Men & Ladies and
Portishead RBL Men & Ladies compete against each other. The winner this year was the
Portishead RBL team so well done to them for a deserved victory.
The games were followed by a mouth-watering 2 course supper which was enjoyed by everyone.
Well done to all those who helped arrange and host the event, it was well worth all the effort.

The Association of Portishead Bowling Clubs would like to thank Britton Associates Wealth Management Ltd.
for their sponsorship of the 2022 season
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.
2022 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 2022 season, captain Rod Hawkins has chosen Children's Hospice South West.
Rod has supported this charity for many years, even going so far as to undertake a sponsored "Firewalk" in November 2019.
" For more than 30 years Children's Hospice South West has been caring for children with life-threatening conditions by providing children's hospice and professional family support services. We are dedicated to making the most of short and precious lives through the provision of the best possible hospice care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. The care offered at each of our three hospices is not just about medical and nursing support for sick children but enriching lives of the children and their whole family. "

For the ladies, President Gill Berryman and Captain Julia Hawkins have chosen to support The Beacon Hub which is situated in The Wesley Centre next to Portishead Methodist Church on Portishead high Street.
" The new hub will provide safe, secure, welcoming spaces for those who are not adequately catered for in the town. "
What started off as a project to provide an additional toilet has resulted in new meeting rooms, a community café and a light airy space for everyone to enjoy. We are delighted to help this project at the beginning of their journey.
Facilities
Our facilities are operated by the Association of Portishead Bowling Clubs with the purpose of enabling four local Portishead clubs to bowl in harmony on excellent greens and with a welcoming atmosphere. The main club house contains a bar and lounge with dining facility.
There are two 6 rink bowling greens both in very pleasant and enclosed surroundings with views to the Welsh coast.
The greens are maintained to a high standard providing an excellent bowling surface throughout the season.
We are pleased to welcome a number of touring sides throughout the season, and without exception, our visitors are very complimentary about the facilities we are able to share with them.
Disabled access and toilets are available for those requiring them.

Tours
For many years now the club has toured to other South Coast resorts, including; Torquay, Falmouth, Tenby, Bournemouth, Babbacombe, Exmouth, Bideford, Southsea and Weymouth.
Tours generally run from Monday to Friday in early September. We hire our own coach for the period of the tour.
Mixed games are arranged with local clubs around the area in which we are touring.
Each year money is raised for a Portishead charity, for example, in 2018 the club toured to Bournemouth and we donated to our local Great Western Air Ambulance Charity
Weymouth - 2016
