Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club
Welcome!
Welcome to the website of
Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club
in Northumberland.
The new season is in full swing and we are delighted with the number of people who have come along to try bowls at our taster sessions, how well they have done and the large number of new members who have joined: a very warm welcome to you.
Our Saturday taster sessions are now finished but new members are encouraged to come along to informal roll-ups on Monday afternoons at 2.00pm and/or Friday mornings at 11.15am for some fun, instruction and encouragement.
We had a great time welcoming some eighty children from Hexham Middle School: photos below. Thank you to Suzanne, Phil, Susan, John, Fiona, Mike, Shelagh, Haylie and Anna for being absolute stars in making them so welcome.
Some feedback from the school:
'We thought the day was a huge success'
'The pupils loved the sessions'
'... sessions were well planned, explanations and demonstrations clear, with enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaches'
'The kids absolutely loved it - they were fully engaged from start to finish'
'Brilliant to see so many pupils trying something new and having such a great time doing it'
'A big thank you to everyone at HEBC - we're already looking forward to the next time!'

What's happening soon
Monday afternoon and Friday morning roll-ups - all welcome!
at 2.00pm Mondays and 11.15am Fridays for a friendly roll-up or game, help support and encourage each other, and get some practice at the same time. For those wanting it we can help with understanding the different roles of a lead, second and skip; marking, scoring and measuring, techniques, tactics etc - all done with no pressure and loads of help. If the thought of joining in at Jumbles on a Saturday afternoon fills you with dread then this is for you. Tea and biscuits afterwards. Note: we won't be meeting if there is a tournament being played on Mondays - usually on bank holidays - or Fridays.

Our club enters a team in each of the three leagues below. Members of all abilities are invited to come in to the clubhouse and look at the sign-up sheets on the notice boards for the league, fixture and date and enter their name on as many sheets as they feel able to commit to. Teams will be selected from the names entered on the sheets. Please don't be disappointed if you are not selected for every match you enter, it's good for as many as possible to have a go.

Winners of the Ambrose Hunter Triples on Late Spring Bank Holiday Monday were Phil Hood, Keith Saunders and Brian Elstob, seen with President Christina Auld.
I didn't know that!
Did you know that the Swiss legend William Tell and his family all played bowls? Unfortunately all the records for the league they played in were destroyed in a fire so no-one knows for whom the Tells bowled.
