Never let it be said that Oreston BC and the Greenkeepers don't have a good relationship, We play around them and they work around us.

Oreston & District Bowls Club were delighted to host the Devon Patrons for an afternoon of laughs and chit chat while fielding 5 full rinks of bowlers, some bowlers only played half a match to enable more of our club to experience our annual charity day with the Patrons.

A half time refreshment brake for this annual event saw the usual cream tea being dished up by our officers wives Jan and Linda, as usual the argument of cream first or jam was successfully avoided by knowing where each member came from and delivering the scone's accordingly.

A great afternoon was had by all and a big thank you to the Patrons that travelled some distance to attend the match.

We held an internal competition on the 23rd of August, this was a 4 wood pairs competition for all members to take part in.  Commiserations to our loosing pair's but a big well done to Sallie and Eric, Steve C & Pam who will now play their final on finals day. Our club finals weekend will be held over the weekend of the 26th and 27th of September.

Once again Oreston Bowls Club hosted it's annual Captain's Day, a fun filled day with games and a pasty for club members and their partners to enjoy. As usual the frivolity ensued and everyone had a good time playing games that are designed to test all aspects of your bowling skills but at the same time giving you and your teams a bonding experience that brings out the best in this club. The raffle was a great success as usual and the spider game was won by Hamish Stewart who won a £20 Gift Card and a special prize donated by one of our Life Members (Jameson Whiskey) was won by Ruth Thomas.

For the first time in Oreston Bowls Club's recent history, we managed to battle our way into a cup final. At times the journey was controversial and played on very sub-standard surfaces that would usually not be fit for friendly matches let alone competition matches. Nevertheless we got there as a team and enjoyed every single minute of the process, sadly the final was one match too far and we were unable to get over the line for our first victory. The team did itself proud though and the final score was a respectable 68 to 48 in the favour of Co-op Unity Park, congratulations to the winners and thank you for a most enjoyable experience. We now look forward to next year.

The Tony Hill Memorial day was conceived in 2023 when Tony's wife Dyllis donated a trophy to the club in order for us to play a fun filled event to remember a much loved member that sadly left us far to early due to Prostate Cancer. The Memorial day quickly became an event to remember more members that left us far too soon, it has now become a day of remembrance and thanks for the enjoyment we all get playing bowls at this club. We play this game annually as a mark of respect and as a team bonding exercise to bring us all together under the badge of Oreston & District Bowls Club.

A big thank you must go to our two captain's Terry & Sallie Hodgett, they organised and delivered an event this year that both honours our past members and encourages our existing members to enjoy playing bowls as members of this great club. Thank you for taking part.

We held a second open eveining for recruitment of new members, thankfully the weather was nice and the evening was as successful as the first with a number of prospective new members. Check out our gallery of images from the event.
