Buckinghamshire Short Mat Bowling Association
The pictures below are from the drawn fours competition which took place on Sunday 8th May.
Welcome to the website of the
Buckinghamshire Short Mat Bowling Association
Membership of the BSMBA is open to ALL short mat bowls clubs within the County of Buckinghamshire.
There will no longer be individual registration but clubs may belong to the Association for a small annual fee and all their members will automatically be included.
The Association in its new form, will continue to look after the interests of players and those leagues which are currently operating within the County.
Competitions organised by the BSMBA will be open to all individual members of those clubs. To see a list of member clubs click here. Member clubs
It is hoped that this new format will be of interest to clubs within the county, which have not, in the past, been registered with the Association.
We sincerely hope that 2022 will see more members returning to their clubs to enjoy bowling once again.
