Bowls England is delighted to announce the regional winners in the 2013 Club of the Year competition, organised in partnership with Drakes Pride.

The winners are:

North: West Bridgford BC, Nottinghamshire
South: Oakley BC, Hampshire
East: Berkhamsted BC, Hertfordshire
West: Ledbury BC, Herefordshire

Each regional winner will receive two sets of Drakes Pride bowls, £50 cash and a framed certificate.

The four Regional Winners now form the final shortlist from which the overall winner will be selected, whose total prize will include £250, four sets of Drakes Pride bowls, the Tony Allcock Trophy (to be kept for one year), a badge for each club member and a match against a visiting Bowls England President’s Team in 2014.

Tony Allcock MBE, Chief Executive of Bowls England, told BromyardBowls: “The standard and number of entries was exceptional this year, but these four clubs each stood out within their area for the work they are doing to promote the sport of bowls within their local area and increase membership. I am sure the judging panel will face a tough job in determining the overall winner.”
