Bowls England Annual Report 2025 Published

Bowls England has published its Annual Report for 2025, offering an interesting look at how the sport is developing across the country and the work being done to support clubs and players at every level.

The report highlights a busy and positive year for bowls in England, with national initiatives such as Bowls’ Big Weekend continuing to introduce thousands of people to the sport. These events encourage clubs to open their doors to newcomers and help show just how welcoming and enjoyable bowls can be.

A strong theme throughout the report is the importance of grassroots clubs and the volunteers who keep them running. From maintaining greens and organising competitions to welcoming new members, volunteers remain at the heart of the sport, and Bowls England continues to develop new resources and support for clubs across the country.

The report also celebrates the success of the National Championships at Victoria Park, Leamington Spa, which once again attracted large crowds and strong participation from bowlers across England.

Looking ahead, there is plenty to look forward to on the international stage, with preparations already underway for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the 2027 World Championships.

Overall, the report paints a picture of a sport that continues to evolve while keeping its strong community spirit at its core.
