As will be evident from all pages of this website Aberlady Bowling Club has been successful in a wide variety of competitions. This page highlights just a few of these team achievements. But also gives an insight into individual successes at club level as well as an indication that bowling is a game to be enjoyed by all ages.
In 1990, under the old two league ( East League & West League ) setup both of Aberlady's league teams qualified for the Courier Cup, only to be drawn to play each other. The Western team won that game. The players of both teams are show, left.
The images on this page and most of them throughout the website show just how successful an individual bowler or team can be irrespective of where they are from or who they are, although bowling is much more than just winning trophies. It is a social pastime which brings people of all backgrounds together to take part in something which they all enjoy.
The fun side of the game was very much in evidence when Aberlady BC played a game against Dirleton BC to celebrate the centenary of the Halkett Cup fixture between the clubs ( photo, on right ) as someone came up with the idea of every player using old wooden bowls instead of their own modern ones. Much hilarity ensued with the players not being used to the bowls they were using.
As is very evident from the people highlighted in the photographs on this page Lawn Bowls is something that can be enjoyed by everyone, irrespective of age or background, so why don't you go along to your local club and give it a try.
