The last Bastion of British Amateur Sport

Competitive sports have always been a significant part of my life, providing a wonderful social equalizer for everyone involved. For over 20 years, I have found great joy in playing bowls. My father, a passionate and respected bowler, used to say, “No one remembers how you win, but everyone remembers how you lose.” It took me a while to truly grasp the wisdom in those words. Bowls is so much more than just a game of wins and losses; it’s about relishing the experience and embracing the camaraderie it fosters. So, I urge you to remember: “Play up, play up, and play the game.” Let’s cherish our time on the green and celebrate the essence of bowls — the last bastion of British amateur sport.
