OUTDOOR FIXTURES, RESULTS & TABLES (May 2008 - Sept 2008)
With a packed fixture list of friendly matches for just about every Saturday & Sunday throughout the outdoor season, the club needs as much support from members as possible to ensure that we can always field sides for this fundamental part of the club calendar. As well as needing to field sides, the club always needs the voluntary efforts of members to help with the post-match catering.
In additon to the friendly fixtures, Bridgman Bowling Club is represented by 3 strong Mens teams in the Bedford Triples League and 1 strong Ladies team in the Ladies League - The teams play their matches on Monday (Men) & Tuedsay (Ladies) evenings against other clubs throughout the County and in addition to these Triples League matches, the teams also enter their respective Bedford Bowls League Knockout Cups.
The club is also strongly represented in the Pell Shield which consists of the aggregate score of 4 pairs on 4 rinks, with 2 pairs playing at home and 2 pairs playing away.
As well as the club friendly matches and competitions; our best bowlers also represent themselves, whilst vicariously representing the club, in County Competitions: The County Singles, County Pairs and County Mixed Pairs competitions all have Bridgman Members competing in them.
