I will be updating the Content and Links on the website in the coming weeks before the start of the season. Please contact me if you find limks are not working.

BCGBA & Lancashire Information on Competitions, Safe Guarding, Fundraising and many other topics can be found here.

The League is open to all ages and is non discriminatory. New Bowlers are always welcome.

The Bolton Mills Bowling Competition is made up of three sections with a maximum of 12 teams in each section. Each team consists of 8 players. Each Team has a 'Home' night of play and play Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays in the evenings.

We hold our quarterly League meetings at Over Hulton Conservative Club generally on the 4th Wednesday of March, June and September, our Presentation Evening on the 2nd Wednesday in November and our AGM on the 4th Wednesday in January. We thank the management of Over Hulton Conservative Club for the support of our meetings. Meetings start at 8pm except when in the bowling season when they start at 8.30pm.

Secretary's Report for the 2023 Season

The number of teams in each Section should be restricted to 10 teams. This proposal was changed to 12 teams in a section and passed by members present. This will mean we go back to 3 Sections in the League Competition.

That two weeks are allocated for the first two rounds of the team knock-out competitions. This proposal was also passed and weeks will be allocated for cup competions within the fixtures.
