Candlelit Bowls
Monday evening 15th September 2025 the Club held the last event of the 2025 season – bowls by candle light. Members enjoyed hot dogs and onions with a few drinks before venturing out on to the green aided only by candles (LED) to mark out the rinks. Torches were needed to guide the bowlers on to the jack! Many thanks to Ken Oakley for organising things.

Palmer Park Team Wins the Millennium Cup!
On Friday evening, 1st August 2025, our Club team won the Millennium Cup. Held at Reading Bowls Club, teams from local clubs compete in two divisions, each team (a triple) plays the other teams in the division in a round robin. The winners of each division then play a final consisting of five ends. The Palmer Park team played Tilehurst, Hurst, Pangbourne and an OTL team in their division. The team won three matches and drew one to accumulate seven points out of a possible eight. They met Henley in the final and won by one shot.
Congratulations to the team of Alistair Todd, Eric Lavine and Margaret Gearing.
