Bowls Season Launched

LEIGH’s 2025 outdoor bowls season got off to a lively start in Belfairs Park, with both Belfairs Bowls Club and Fairwood Bowls Club gathering for their season opener in Belfairs Park on April 26th.

 Formed from the merger of Woodside (a men’s club) and Fairways Ladies Bowls Club several years ago, Fairwood Bowls opted for a playful tradition to begin their season—a “spider,” a fun bowling challenge enjoyed by members.

 Meanwhile, Belfairs Bowls Club held their official season rollout that afternoon, with Belfairs councillor Stephen Aylen stepping in to bowl the first bowl, after sponsor and Belfairs Chemist Fizz was called away at the last minute.

 Coun Aylen said: “I had the honour of the first ball. Fizz from Belfairs Chemists was the official person to conduct the roll out as he sponsors Belfairs Bowls Club, but he had an emergency so I stepped in.”

 Fairwood Bowls Club will be holding an open day on Saturday 11th May at Belfairs Park, offering a perfect opportunity for newcomers to try their hand at the sport and meet current members.

 Coun Aylen added that Belfairs Bowls Club are also looking for new members,

 He said: “Belfairs bowls club welcome new members if anyone would like to join a mixed club of ladies and gents.”
