The 2023 season sees our endeavours to improve the facilities come to fruition. We hope that the green edges are to be levelled, an automatic irrigation system is going to be installed and the backboards are getting replaced. All events and activities that were in place during 21 and 22 will continue in 2023 with hopefully more social events.
In 2021 and 2022 we continued with out local league fixtures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings as well as Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. An internal singles league ran on Saturday afternoons and other regular jumbles were organised when time allowed. More than ten club competitions were organised for members to compete in throughout the season. Open competitions became a regular occurrence at weekends with members enjoying trips away.

In 2020 we were able to run two Open competitions: the Jackie Lawton Memorial Pairs which was won by Billy Fuller and Andy Gibson and a Singles competition won by Maurice Dunlop. Evening and Saturday jumbles were played throughout the year which was of benefit to the club as we attracted a lot of folk who had never before played bowls. Monday evening Singles league, which proved popular with members, ran for more than twelve weeks and was won by Alan Lawton. There have been many friendly games arranged between Hebburn, Hebburn Sports and Seaton Delaval clubs as well as Open days and other Open competitions at Hebburn, Jarrow and Walker. Next year it is hoped we can arrange trips to Scotland, Darlington and other venues for friendly days out.
