Eastbourne Parade Bowls Club

Friday, 4th of September 2026 - 8 rinks ~ with Plessey IOW Tour
Another lovely day for bowling, and another great feedback!

"Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for the hospitality your members afforded us yesterday.

Feedback from every tourist has been amazing. The welcome was warm, the pre match rolls were tasty, the greens were excellent and the post match informalities were great fun. The sun even shine!

Thank you once again, we hope to return again in the future.

And yes, we came second! "Keeping up our touring team ethic", to quote Peter H

Macmillan Coffee Morning - 11 September 2026, 11.00 am

We are holding a Macmillan Coffee Morning and would appreciate as much support as you can offer, either by attending or donating cakes for sale. All proceeds will go to this wonderful cause.

First day of September, but it still feels like summer...
And what a lovely day to come second (aka be smashed, haha) against The Borough of Eye Tour team! But who cares? We've made new friends! Thank you Ron for such nice feedback!

"Hi Christine,

It was an absolute pleasure to play at Parade BC today. Such an amazing and friendly club and ALL my tourists want to come back SOON.
I can’t thank you and your club enough for agreeing to play us again especially as the Sun Gods were on our side today which made the afternoon all the better.
When we get home I will ask my tourists if they want to tour next year, as some have already hinted to return to Eastbourne again so don’t be surprised if you again get an enquiry from the Borough of Eye BC.

Thanks again Christine.
Ron

PS. I hope your bar takings were up today and your stock down after our visit.

The strategy we initially agreed upon did not yield the results we expected.

Well done, lads! 😬 (Gritted smile)
