💚 Charity Partnership Announcement 💚
We’re delighted to share that Lydney Bowls 1926 has chosen Great Oaks Hospice as its Charity of the Year for the upcoming season.
The club begins its summer season on 11 April, with the green opening then, and hosts club nights every Wednesday evening throughout the summer. They are a friendly and inclusive club, welcoming new bowlers of all ages, and even offer three free introductory sessions for anyone keen to try bowls for the first time.
This year is especially significant for the club as they celebrate their Centenary Year. To mark the occasion, a number of special celebration matches are planned, including fixtures against Bowls England, the Gloucestershire Bowling Association, and others, alongside their regular leagues and matches.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at the club for choosing to support Great Oaks Hospice during such a landmark year for them. We look forward to working together throughout the season and wish them every success both on and off the green 🎳💚

💚Billy’s London Marathon Challenge for Great Oaks Hospice 🏃♂️💚
On Sunday, Lydbrook AFC came together to support Billy and his incredible London Marathon fundraising challenge for Great Oaks Hospice.
The day kicked off with an inter-house friendly, where two teams from the club faced off in a charity football match – all in support of Billy’s fundraising efforts. In the evening, the generosity continued with a quiz night, helping to boost the total even further.
We’re delighted to share that the day was a huge success, raising an amazing £1,025 for our hospice! 🙌
A massive thank you to Billy, Lydbrook AFC, and everyone who supported the day – whether you played, donated, attended the quiz, or cheered from the sidelines. Your support truly makes a difference. 💚
