| Men’s Lawn Bowls |
The Club’s Men’s Outdoor
Bowls Section is very active, participating in national, county and
other club competitions, in league and friendly matches, and in
internal competitions.
The Men’s Section takes part in
the East Surrey and New Surrey Leagues that are played at weekends
with four, four-rink matches: the New Surrey Midweek Triples League
(three triples per match): and the Sutton & District Midweek
Tons League which has two triples teams playing simultaneously - one
at home and one away.
Friendly matches are played
mid-week and at weekends. Most weekend and some mid-week games
include after match meals.
There are internal men’s
umbrellas and a triples ballot usually every Thursday
evening.
Other important items on the men’s outdoor
calendar include two Men versus Ladies matches, President’s day,
Captain’s Day, and a Gala Day when the Club is thrown open to family
and friends with multi-activities, all proceeds going to charity. In
addition, in August we run the Sutton Open Fours Invitation
Tournament with money prizes for the winners, runners-up and
semi-finalists.
The extensive programme of internal
competitions is designed to cover all bowling formats and includes
bowlers of every standard from beginners to the very
experienced.
On the competitive front, the Club enters
teams in national competitions, and members may enter singles,
pairs, triples and fours formats in Surrey County Bowling
Association competitions and singles, pairs and mixed-fours
competitions run by Bowls England.
The men’s section also
enters inter-club competitions organised by London & Southern
Counties Bowling Association, Sutton & District Bowling
Association, and the East Surrey and New Surrey Bowls
Leagues.
The outdoor bowling season will commence
mid-to-end of April depending on weather conditions. The men's
pre-season meeting will take place at 7.30pm on Wednesday 9 April,
and the pre-season social will take place at 7.30pm on Friday 25
April.
