The green is closed

The green closed at the end of the 2026 season on Sunday after a testing year for the surface - and our greenkeeper, Marley.

After a wet winter and dry start to the summer season, it had to deal with temperamental sprinklers, the challenges of recovering it again, an unseasonally heavy surface for most of the summer and another dry spell right at the end.

It will be interesting to see what condition it is in come next April, when the gates will once again be unlocked for another season of Haywards Heath & Beech Hurst Bowls Club.

But the clubhouse remains open

In the meantime, our short-mat season has begun, with nearly all the morning slots taken.

But there is plenty of scope for afternoon sessions, which are particularly - but not exclusively - aimed at new players who may be starting their short-mat bowls careers.

Contact any of the organisers at the top of the lists in the clubhouse or John Milsom for more details.

Remember, too, that the all-weather surface alongside the green is available for use during the winter. 

Nicola and Graham take final trophy of the season

Nicola and Graham Barton each picked up their second trophies of the summer as they swept all before them in the Terry Gasson Trophy.

In what was our final competition of the season, they won all four of their Australian pairs matches to take the trophy by 12 points from their nearest rivals.

It was especially sweet for Nicola, who has been runner-up in this competition in three of the past four years. 

She was also part of the triples team that won the Carrow Cup a few weeks ago, while Graham collected the David Johns Trophy in May, alongside Robin Parris and Elsie Wilding.

Elsie had to settle for runner-up this time, finishing 12 points behind the winners, with partner Neville.

See match report for details.
