Due to technical difficulties with our website 'Contact Us' form, which some members are still using, we are withdrawing this as a method of booking rinks for competitions (internal and external), club nights and ALL 'informal' roll-ups with immediate effect.
Going forward:
- ALL requests for rink bookings MUST be sent to the following email address: withambc@gmail.com AND they should also be entered on to the Rink Booking Sheet located on the outside notice board at the club house.This, hopefully, will eliminate the possibility of any duplicate bookings - the bookings will also be available for viewing on the WBC Google Calendar [please use the above link] providing that WBC Technical Support have been given sufficient notice to action your request. Ideally 24 hours notice would be appreciated.
- ALL requests for Club Night and Club Drive bookings MUST be sent to the following [same] email address: withambc@gmail.com. Please provide as much notice as possible with these requests as it allows us to plan the rinks for club night in advance and reduce delays on the night.

What a great day, we raised approx. £ 1,500 for the charity.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, not forgetting those who couldn't be there on the day and still contributed to the magnificent total. A great amount of effort by the 'core' team (you know who you are!) and we should all be proud to be called WITHAM BOWLS CLUB.
Have a look at the Photo Gallery (under more...) for pictures of the day.

WITHAM Bowls Club played hosts to the Dennyside Bowling Association [the rabbits] for a charity match in aid of Farleigh Hospice.
It was an honour for Witham B.C to host the 'rabbits passing by' and the tremendous contribution they, and our own members, gave to a very successful day all round. We were astounded by the generosity and support that everyone gave on the day.
Winners on the day were Farleigh Hospice - we raised £1,800 and the sport of Lawn Bowls.
