A good day, kind weather, wonderful food and great fun. An excellent start to the new season of our Mid Wales Women's Bowling Association.
Curry & Quiz Night
​Thanks to Jess, Aled and staff at the Oak, to quiz master "Eddy eggs" and to everyone who attended the Curry & Quiz night on Thursday, 7th November 2024. The event raised £317 for our club - we are so grateful.

A huge thank you to the team at Guilsfield for making the green playable, supplying the water baths for players to clean their bowls and the catering on day when warm drinks were the order of the day."

Tommy Owen Trophy
Guilsfield were pleased to host the Mid Wales Women's Bowling Association 3 Wood Triples competition for the Tommy Owen Trophy on Saturday 6th July 2024.

​​​​
Thanks also to members who loaned gazebos, which enabled us to ensure everyone taking part had space to eat, store bags, and importantly keep dry whilst not playing. Following this successful event, the club decide to use the money raised from the sale of refreshments to purchase a gazebo for future club events.
​
​The competition proved a fantastic success, with over 60 competitors taking part. One of our teams (Pat Pauline & Ann) reaching the semi-final to be played later in the year. A big THANK YOU goes to the club members who organised the catering and refreshments during the day, along with those who helped set everything up in the early morning.

Equipment to assist the less able bodied
​
With the Sports Wales grant, we have been able to purchase a lot of new equipment to assist the less able bodied, including a walking frame, a wheelchair, 2 sets of corner steps, a smaller shed so the equipment is more accessible, bright coloured woods, bowlers lifters and delivery arms.
