A WARM WELCOME AWAITS ALL
TOURING SIDES TO THE BBC
We at the Benitachell Bowls Club look forward to welcoming all “Touring Sides”, whether on a formal or individual tour to our club where we have an 8 rink carpet green with a popular bar and restaurant together with a viewing area and is only 45 minutes from Benidorm.
The membership stands currently at just under 200, and bowling is of a high standard.
The BBC has enjoyed the company of several touring sides from all over Britain. The focus of these games is always high on entertainment and fun rather than than serious competition bowling! Long may they continue.
Our photograph shows members of the visiting side Torrevieja Branch of The Royal British Legion. with members of the BBC.
The club have 4 teams playing in the Costa Blanca Winter Leagues, with its Rinks team playing both north and south of Alicante and is known as the BBC. The three other teams compete in the "Northern League" playing other clubs north of Alicante, and go by the names of the Lions, Tigers and Jaguars.
For more information you can contact the Club Vice-Captain at moc.liamg|1cbb.niatpaceciv#moc.liamg|1cbb.niatpaceciv or the Club Secretary at moc.liamg|1cbb.ces#moc.liamg|1cbb.ces
We would like to hear from you.
Benitachell Bowls Club v Campsie BC - Friday 12th October 2018
On a very warm afternoon BBC entertained another Scottish team, this time from Campsie, a few miles from last weeks team.
The results showed how well they played, adjusting to our green very quickly, giving the home team a run for their money. From the noise coming from the rinks it was obvious everyone was enjoying the competition and the parting comments from the Campsie team saying how much they had enjoyed our hospitality. So thanks to all our members who helped to make it a fun day.
Richard (Captain of the day)
Benitachell Bowls Club v Milton of Campsie - Thursday 4th October 2018
On a lovely warm day, BBC played host to the ladies of Milton of Campsie, a town north of Glasgow.
Obviously good bowlers on their home ground we had a very competitive morning , but most of all it was a very enjoyable morning.
Thanks to all who took part and stayed to entertain our guests at lunch. The photograph below shows all bowlers that took part.

Vice Captain
Benitachell Bowls Club v Torrevieja Branch of The Royal British Legion.
Wednesday 3rd May, with perfect weather for bowling, the BBC greeted the Torrevieja Branch of the Royal British Legion. This visit was a wish of Jim Dobbins a former BBC member, and a very much missed, friend and member of the Torrevieja Branch of the Legion.
A year ago today, sadly, Jim passed away before the visit came to fruition. But his friends had made a promise to him and made sure that it was going to be kept.
The afternoon started with a soup and roll lunch and then out on the green for competitive bowling. Prior to the game all the BBC players were presented with a Poppy Badge. BBC managed to win on all rinks bar one; it did not matter as everyone thoroughly enjoyed them-selves.
Our photograph shows Richard Gardiner BBC Captain of the day with Dianne Budd, Vice President British Legion Torrevieja branch, and Brenda Brown Captain of the day.
All agreed that the meal was excellent, being followed by the speeches and the presentation of a pennant for the Club.
Dianne Budd worked very hard selling raffle tickets for the Legion Poppy Appeal, eventually making 118 euros for this very good cause.
At the end of all the proceedings, Dianne and Brenda presented a trophy to the Club in memory of Jim.
Both Dianne and Allan Budd remarked that it would be so nice to make it a reciprocal competition, one and all agreed, so we will have to make it happen.
