National Championships
The Strongest Bowlers from each County
National championship qualifiers start at county level each year between September and January where bowlers are invited to compete against each other to find the strongest from each county.
Once county qualifiers have all taken place, places are allocated to the winner and runners up in each county using a formula that considers number of bowlers in a county and number of entrants into the qualifiers.
Those players offered places then come together in a central venue to play against each other with the aim of finding the strongest players in the country across a range of disciplines.
The next national championships are scheduled to be held in Melton Mowbray in March and April. Full details can be found below.
Schedule
All events will take place at Melton & District Indoor Bowls Club, LE13 0LR
