The Short Mat 2025/2026 winter season started on October 2nd 2025 and ends on April 2nd 2026. So we have months of Fun Thursdays ahead of us!

​

Last seasons League was close until the last 3 or 4 games, when one team ran away with it.

​​

The winning team was (wait for the drumroll):

Team C consisting of June Arnell, Joyce Mitcbell, Mukesh Parekh, the late John Tuff and Ian Whitehead, scoring 53 points over the 23 games and winning the League by a margin of 10 points. 

Congratulations and Well Done!

​

Short Mat is a social evening played every Thursday evening during the winter months, starting at 5:30pm and ending just after 9pm. 

​

It involves 10 teams of 5 people (from which 4 play each week) playing at all levels of ability, who have a lot of fun. The mat is laid in the early afternoon giving everyone the opportunity to practice should they wish.  

During the evening the bar is open if you fancy a tipple with your team mates or a chat with friends. 

 

All are welcome, if you don't want to bowl, come and socialize with members over the cold winter months. It will be worth getting out of the armchair!
