Review of the Season
2025 was another successful season for the club. There were a number of highlights including:
-
Mixed league champions - a beginners’ league where new bowlers play alongside more experienced players against other clubs
-
Senior Talgarth team league retained their title - over 60s men’s league.
-
Teams competed in the Welsh Super 8s and Super 5s tournaments and reached the semi-finals
-
in their first year of entering.
-
Reached the quarter finals in the Cambrian Rose Bowl competition in the first year of entering this long standing competition.
-
A Talgarth team won the Senior Triples Mid Wales Bowling Association title.
-
A member became involved with the Welsh Visually Impaired Bowling Team. There is hope that he will go on to represent Wales in the future.
-
Multiple players from both our men’s and women’s members were chosen to play for Mid Wales.
-
There was a rise in the number of previous non-players taking part in the ‘Municipal League’. This is a social game of bowls played weekly and participation contributed to an increase in members this season.
-
Task focussed sub-groups introduced this season proved effective at spreading the volunteer load amongst members. They put in immense periods of time and effort to ensure the club operates effectively. Massive thanks is due to them.
Fundraising
Unfortunately, the 100 club did not get off the ground this year. However, the newly formed fundraising team embarked upon a publicity spree, including an updated website, which attracted a substantial number of sponsors for 2025 and, hopefully, beyond.
Thanks to the team and other volunteers who were involved In acquiring sponsors, obtaining grant money and doing the practical work to improve the club. Together with our membership fees and refreshments revenue, our outgoing Treasurer has left the club in a strong financial position for the future of the club.
