In late 2024 the committee of Trentham Bowling Club agreed to renovate the rather precipitous steps doen onto our main rink, to improve safety for our members and their bowling guests. This project was masterminded and overseen by Ray Sewart, our Maintenance Manager. Valuable grant funding support was applied for and secured by our Vice Treasurer, Janet Turner. Trentham Bowling Club would like to express our gratitude, not only to Ray and Janet but also to The Good Exchange, the Shanly Foundation and also to Purley Parish Council for their invaluable financial contribution.

9th-14th Feburary 2025 - Winter Tour to Torquay An absolutely brilliant winter trip. Good hotel, good food, great company, lots of laughs, but above all great bowling. For Trentham to win an indoor game of Bowls is a rare event, but to win a series over 3 days is, I think, unprecedented, so well done to all. We have all had an excellent week and many thanks to Kevin (assisted by Karen, as always), all your hard work and preparation paid off. Thanks to everyone for their company on this trip.
