Popular return of event that bowled over Eastbourne

Saffrons Sports Club will again be the venue for five evenings of fun competition during the week beginning June 10. This follows on from the outstanding success of last year’s first ever Eastbourne Skittles Championships, staged by the Rotary Club of Eastbourne.

Companies large and small - along with pubs, clubs, charities, care homes, schools, families and friends, able bodied or disabled - are invited to sign up with teams of six players.

Trophies will be awarded each evening to the winning team each evening. Each will compete against two others, using the original skittles format of rolling wooden bowls at nine pins, in this open-air event. The team achieving the highest score during the week will proudly lift the 2024 Eastbourne Skittles Championship trophy.

Ian Huke, one of the Rotary club’s organisers said: “This is a great event full of fun and frivolity, alongside some hotly contested competition.

“It attracts teams from all around the Eastbourne area to join in a community-wide competition open to novices as well as bowlers of any standard and offers a great occasion to relax with friends and work colleagues. Please do sign up and join in.”

Cost of entry for each team of six is £30 (£5 per team member). All monies raised during the week will go to local charities. Beer and spirits will be on sale in the Saffrons pavilion as well as hot food, coffees, teas and cakes from the rotary club’s own stall.
