Have you earmarked your marketing budget for this year?
Would you like us to help promote your local business or services?

Est. in 1900, NMBC’s buildings and grounds on the estate play host to 1,000s of people every year, but there are considerable overheads. We wish to ensure equality and diversity by developing a culture that enables involvement for everyone. Further investment is needed in this and other areas.
Growth in membership and fees is one way in which we fund the club, but help from local businesses, grants, formal sponsorship and charitable donations are always needed no matter how small. In return we can provide the following, dependent on investment level:

Gain visibility for your business: not only at the grounds, but also through our active comms:- literature, website, online rink diary and social media.

Bowls Bash/Corporate Event: a private booking for your staff to enjoy a quick and easy version of bowls with entertainment, bar and refreshments at the clubhouse plus your company visibility as mentioned above.
We have lots of ideas on how you can support us and in return we can present relevant ways in which your business can be showcased by us. Here are just a few examples of how you can help:

• Scorecards (£70), scoreboards (£130 each), rink markers (£30/pair), trophies, training aids, club shirts (£35) and green keeping equipment, sets of bowls, etc. can all be purchased and marked with your branding and company details.
• Club competitions, open days, bowls bash events and the annual NM Estate competitions can all be sponsored and advertised with your branding.
• Each of our six rinks can be sponsored with large advertising posters and membership benefits for you and your staff.

If we can help each other in any way let’s talk.

To Club Secretaries and County Officers

Dear All,

The attached report on Gloucestershire involvement and achievement in the 2024 National Finals at Royal Leamington Spa, has been submitted and will shortly be on the GBA Website, but - in case not all of your members routinely go to the Website - I attach it herewith.  You may like to circulate it or post on your club notice board.

The club competition finals have taken place over the past week or so with most games taking place last weekend. I huge thanks to all involved in the organisation, marking, scoring, food preparation and clearing up each day. Some close and highly entertaining games - particularly the last game with the ladies drawn pairs, with Rachel and Mandy winning by just one shot on the extra end following a tie break at 18 ends.
