NORFOLK OVER 60’s SHORT MAT BOWLS

​
Teresa Goldsmith organisers Norfolk Short Mat Bowls Association’s Over 60’s activities that centre around a regular fortnightly day of bowls in the Sports Hall.

Appointed by the NCSMBA’s Management Committee to form a team many yearsago, Teresa set about making the group welcoming for any senior Norfolk bowler playing for any of the clubs affiliated to the Association. Operating under the umbrella of the Norfolk CSMBA, with the support of husband Selwyn who is Chairman of the Association, Teresa has made the Norfolk Over 60’s one of the most active short mat bowls groups in the country for senior bowlers.

For just £5 bowlers can enjoy a day of short mat competition with teas, coffees and biscuits included.

Over the years Teresa has not only ran the regular fortnightly Thursday squad days but also organised many trips away that have included Cyprus, Malta, Isle of Skye, Turkey, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland.

Many of the Over 60’s also take advantage of cut price short mat bowls holidays organised by Teresa & Selwyn at Potters Resort in Hopton-on-Sea and at Potters Five Lakes Resort in Essex.

Teresa also arranges short mat matches against groups from various counties. Annual home and away matches are held against groups from Kent & Essex.

A weekend bowls event is played every August against a group of North Yorkshire and Hertfordshire bowlers with the match alternating between Norfolk and North Yorkshire each year.

Anyone over the age of 60 who is interested in joining in the fun can find details of the Over 60’s Squad day dates at Hingham on the shortmatnorfolk website.
