LYDNEY Bowling Club is inviting the town to start the New Year by looking ahead to a major milestone in 2026, when the club celebrates its centenary.

Founded in 1926, the club will mark 100 years of bowls in Lydney with a summer of special celebration matches, welcoming back familiar faces from other clubs and encouraging new players to take up the sport.

The outdoor green will open for the new season on April 11, 2026, and members are urging people from Lydney and the surrounding area to come along and support the club as it sets its sights on the next hundred years.

Known for its friendly and inclusive atmosphere, the club welcomes players of all ages and abilities.
