The Division 4 season at Primrose Hill Lib is up and running with blue skies and shirt-sleeved bowlers scurrying around a running green.

The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the green was running great. We all love Winter bowling.

Five bowling matchdays this week including a first-ever set of winter fixtures at Lockwood Con and new covered seating at Netherton.

The first day of the Winter League season for 16 teams. How did they all do?

Happy to report that Linthwaite Hall have formed a B team to fill that late gap in Division 8 for the 2024-25 season.

You wont find many leagues that have a rule where teams can opt out of being relegated but then the Winter League is different.

A late team withdrawal opens the door for a new team to join the League for the 2024-25 season. Act now.

There is a new free parking facility at Lockwood Con ready for Winter League bowlers.

With the new delay to the Division 1 fixture programme I have updated the poster for you to download and share with your teammates.

The Winter League season starts this week with fixtures in two divisions. However there is one major change to the Division 1 programme.

It's new. It's different and it's coming to Winter League bowlers shortly. First sight of what it is all about.

The Winter League season starts next week. All the start dates for each division and your own mini fixture programme to print off.

The Winter League has received two new trophies which have been donated for two very different reasons.

The full set of fixtures for the 2024-25 season are now available on our Bowlsnet pages and printable versions are here for your use.

The format of the Winter League for the 2024-25 season has been finalised and the make-up of 8 divisions of 8 teams in each completed.

The unique Winter League has introduced a unique new rule where teams can decline promotion and avoid relegation.

Two late new team applications to join the Winter League have been received. This takes the new team total to 10 and the overall total to 64

The Winter League AGM is to be held on 2 August and the agenda, financial statement and proposed rule changes are all open to all.

Plans are well advanced for the 5th Winter League season starting in October and we have 2 vacancies for teams to play on Tuesdays.

One late new team entry has been accepted and vacancies are still available for another 2 new teams.
