“Thank You”

  By

We have received a lovely letter addressed to our Centre Manager from a couple of members who recently hired our venue for a special occasion, this is what they had to say;

”This is just to thank you and the Bowls Club for helping to make my 80th birthday celebrations both memorable and enjoyable. My family and friend were most impressed with the venue and especially the food. Michelle and her team could not be more helpful and welcoming.

The choice of food would suit any pallet and the quality and quantity was second to none. Michelle is obviously an expert in her field and a valuable asset to the Club, my wife feels the same.

I look forward to spending many years at Eastbourne & District Indoor Bowls Club as a member and thank you once again for the wonderful service.”

If you would like to enquire about hiring our venue please contact our Centre Manager during normal office hours on 01323 506009 alternatively please send us a message using our contact form 

EIBA National Over 60’s Singles Champion 2023

  By ,
Wonderful article on EIBA website about our lovely Jo Morris and her determination to carry on bowling after an horrific neck injury. Such an inspiration to us all and she has helped other members of our club get to grips with using a bowling arm.
 
Jo is proof that if you want something, you have to fight for it. Last month she was crowned EIBA National Over 60’s Singles Champion, five years after she started using a bowling arm when faced with the prospect of giving up the sport she loves forever! 🏆
 
Jo says “The reaction has been mostly complete admiration of my determination to try bowling with the arm. Some say they would just give up bowls, or throw it from the hip, but we both decided we wanted to master the bowling arm to show people there is another alternative.”
 
Here is her story ⬇️
