A fun social bowls event on Friday (4/9). We were visited by touring side Uffculme Bowls Club and guests. At the end of their week away they were in good spirits and enjoyed their bowls on 6 rinks. Whilst we won overall the result was not important we made new friends and enjoyed their visit.

After the game we sat down to a two course meal with the usual refreshments and our visitors treated us to their celebration choir.

🟢🔵FINAL 2026 COUNTY LEAGUE TABLES🔵🟢
🥳🎉🍺😊MENS B TEAM PROMOTED😊🍺🎉🥳

On the final day of this seasons Somerset County league season our men’s A team position was confirmed as a creditable 4th place in Division 1 North with Portishead RBL Bowling Club being promoted back to the premier league at the first time of asking. Congratulations.

For Nailsea the excitement was at the top of Division 2 with 3 teams fighting for the last promotion place behind already promoted Victoria Bowls Club WSM. Our B team started the day 3 points behind their opponents on the day Clevedon Promenade Bowls Club knowing that they had to win to stand any chance of being promoted. In a very close game across three rinks we managed to win 55-45 with a win on 1 rink and a very close game on a second losing by 1 shot but our winning rinks margin of victory was large enough to take the points 8-4 meaning we went above Prom and that the other team in the mix could not catch us. The B team have been promoted and will join the A team in Division 1 North next season. An excellent end to a very enjoyable season.

As a club we aspire to achieve Premier status bowls within the next 3 years. If you would like to help us achieve that then come along to Mizzymead next season. It all starts again in April 2027.
