Did you know that this year a North versus South Bowling Competition was held? Yes, even in crown green bowling, there is a north/south divide. Held in August it was hosted by the Garswood Hall Bowling Club, Ashton-in-Makerfield. Fondly referred to by the organisers as “the Ryder Cup of Bowling” it was a big fundraising event playing for the Mel Evans Trophy. Mel Evans was a keen bowler and was awarded an MBE for working tirelessly to bring bowling back to television audiences. He was diagnosed in 2015 with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). His wife set up The Mel Evans MBE Foundation as a lasting legacy to raise awareness of MND and to raise vitally needed research funding through delivery of a wide range of fundraising events/activities.
Did you know that coming up later this month is the BCGBA Champion of Champions Competition to be held at Owley Wood, Weaverham on 27th & 28th September 2025?
