LADIES’ CAPTAIN 2024
2024 Ladies Captain; Julie Lomas-Smith
I am looking forward to my second year of being Ladies Captain.
We did extremely well in the Bournemouth and District Ladies League coming top in Division One.
We also had some very successful games in the Benevolent Triples, Ladies Senior Fours and County Pairs where two of our ladies
represented us at Leamington.
I introduced a new format for our Saturday mixed triples games which gave all of our members a chance to play in this and I am please to report that our team in Division One came top of that league.
If you think you might like to have a go at playing bowls please come along to one of our Open Days on May 5th and 12th, it will give you an insight into the game and we would look forward to welcoming you.
Wishing all our members a great bowling season.

2023 MEN’S CAPTAIN
Clive Bryceson – 2023 Men’s Captain
Hello 2023 Bowlers
My wife & I joined the Swanage Bowling Club when we moved here from Maidenhead in 2006 and it is has been a major part of our outdoor summer activities ever since. As this years Men’s Captain I look forward to navigating the introduction of four teams into the Saturday morning B&D Triples leagues and at the same time working alongside the Ladies Captain (Julie Lomas-Smith) and our team selectors.
If you are reading this page as someone who is thinking of taking up this inclusive and social sport please get in touch as we will happily arrange for a free “have-a-go-session” with one of our members. Alternatively why not come along to one of our open days, the first of which is on Sunday 14th May at either 10am or 2pm.
