Ystradfechan Bowls Club

[09/09/21]   We require a chef.
Initially to cook Sunday lunches with the look to expand in the near future.
Must be qualified with experience.
To apply please contact Claire Lewis.

[09/08/21]   At a loose end this evening? We are open from 7pm for the Wales game!

[07/18/21]   When we do it, we do it right! What a fantastic day for our club, and a for Mid Glamorgan bowls.

The showpiece event of the season didn’t disappoint and some outstanding bowls were played in County Finals Day!

Congrats to the winners and all the best to all finalists in Llandod in September! Go well and no doubt we’ll bag a couple of National trophies.

On a personal note - what a fay for our club. Atmosphere, food, and bowls - all perfect! The only sour note was to be told we have “no chance of holding any county games in future”. A political decision made by people not in the know. We will fight tooth and nail for representation games that the best players in our county deserve, on the best surface and facilities in our county!

The only question to ask - tell me why not?

A fantastic day! There’s only one F in Fechan 👍🏻👍🏻

Singles under way in the Mid Glam Finals! Great audience. Scorching day, scorching bowls! 👏👏👏

Have a great weekend everyone! Pass me the factor 50!
