Helping hand
The team at PEBC continue to support the Hospice of St Francis as its charity of choice.
It was therefore extremely pleasing to yet again provide this great cause with a cheque for £1,200 collected at various events at the bowls club in 2025.
We are again collecting in 2026 and will endeavour to ensure we continue this vital support.
Thanks again to our corporate friends from Berkhamsted GC and Ashridge GC and all those who donated throughout the year.
If you would like to donate further throught the club please contact treasurer@pottenendbowlsclub.org for details
Full House
The annual Men's Triples Day saw a full house.
Chris the Chairman rallied and the club fully supported with a further 35 players.
So we had 12 teams of 3 seperated into two seperate sections of 6 namely Blue and Red.
Each team in each section then played with the winners of the Blue section then played the winners of the red in a 5 end final.
The final teams were
Eddie, Peter and Richard - V - Jon, Tony and Tyler.
Congratulations go to our Club Captain Jon, Tony and Tyler who swaggered away with the spoils.
Lot's of laughs, great banter and great to see so many not only support but get behind the finalist and fully support the event.
The season is rolling on nicely!
Mixed Fours Plate
A cooler day after a very hot start to the summer saw the first of our internal day long competitions.
A full house of 24 members, saw 6 teams battle it out for the trophy.
Our Captain Jon Mitchell presented the Mixed Fours Plate to the winning team (L - R) Chris Halls. Rita Drew, John Herron and Keith Martindale.
The team won 3, drew one and lost one, beating their nearest rivals with a more positive shot tally.
A great day was had by all and a big thank you to Chairman Chris for organising the event.
Our next events is the mens triples day on Sunday 2nd August with currently 12 teams of 3.
Winners
At Potten End Bowls Club we are all about getting stuck in.
We have no paid staff so the work on the greens, maintenance, bar, committees etc are undertaken by the membership.
Our aim is to make many small jobs so not to burden one individual and to make the members work together as a team. This is great for your health and also general wellbeiing.
Approximately 10 years ago our Green Team changed and the green required drastic action as it was going down hill. Step up our superstars Steve and Richard, Steve took on the cutting, rolling and machinery whilst Richard the care, nutrition and prevention measures with regard the grass.
Their care leadership and guidance has meant we have probably one of the best greens in Hertfordshire and so it was extremely pleasing that they received the award 'Volunteer of the Year' from Berkhamsted Sports Grounds Charitable Association.
These guys will be the first to admit they have put in a great deal of hard work to turn the situation round but have been supported by a cast of cutters, swishers and sprayers who continue to maintain our pride and joy.
Well done Team PEBC!!
