Bowls

Whitley WI Bowls (WI members only)

Our Darts team play during the winter and our Bowls team plays during the summer.

Mary Highmore leads the Bowls group and Ann Tolson leads the Darts.

You don’t have to be an expert bowler to play Crown Green Bowling with Whitley WI, most of us joined as beginners and don’t take things too seriously. We start to play around Easter and carry on until the end of September.

During 2023 the Bowls activities in our local area still haven’t really recovered since the pandemic, and our local league area has not restarted. We did enter 2 teams for the WI County Bowls tournament and one team won its first match, but we didn’t get through to the later stages. We did attempt to hold our annual Adelaide Hough competition in September but unfortunately this was rained off. We do plan to hold the competion earlier in the season next year, hopefully during April or May. Adelaide was a very active member of our Bowls team until she was unable to play due to MS and she presented us with this trophy – it is great to remember her each year.
