New Milton BC: 100 Years!

2024 - The Centenary Year

The B&DBA would like to congratulate New Milton BC for reaching their centenary year. 100 years is a fantastic achievement for the Hampshire club who have served their community well in the last century, and continue to provide Greens to a high standard, for the current and next generation to enjoy in their next 100 years!

Nick Saunders will be producing a history book of the club, which should be a fascinating read, and will no doubt form one of the future news article on the B&DBA website.

To celebrate this momentous occasion a full programme has been planned for members and visiting clubs. The first event Bowls England will be sending 6 mixed rinks to play New Milton on Wednesday July 3rd match starting 2pm. A Gala day will follow on Wednesday July 24th with 10 clubs invited from the New Forest League to send a mixed triple. A second Gala day will be held on Wednesday August 14th with 8 clubs from the Bournemouth & District league invited to send a mixed rink. The visiting players will receive an anniversary gift pen and badge and a history of the club brochure.

Members of New Milton are looking forward to a full season and wish all players from New Forest and the Bournemouth leagues a very happy season.

New Milton BC becomes the 11th club to reach their centenary within the association.
