Warminster Bowling Club crowned Nor-West Gala 2025 Champions

Warminster Bowling Club has bowled its way to glory, winning the prestigious Nor-West Gala 2025 held at North Wilts Bowling Club on 2nd July. 

The annual tournament sees clubs from across North and West Wiltshire competing, and Warminster emerged victorious after an all-day contest under the summer sun.

The winning trio – Eira Church, Sue Bohana and Ruth Gerrish – won all three of their group games to reach the final, before clinching the title in style with a resounding 9-1 victory.

Back at the club, members are enjoying successful season. Strong performances across all teams mean that Warminster is riding high in several league tables.

The club’s open day welcomed a wave of enthusiastic new members who came to “give bowling a try” while a recent highlight of the social calendar was Captain Sue’s Day which saw 60 members and their families don red and white outfits for a fun-filled afternoon.

“Our green is looking amazing thanks to the hard work and efforts by a dedicated group led by David to assist in the installation of new sprinklers,” said the club. “Kate’s garden is much admired by visiting teams and so much appreciated by us all.

“The club is the most friendly place; do join us to watch the Lions matches; bacon buns and sausage rolls will be on offer!”

For more details, see the club’s website or Facebook page.

  • Cycling challenge raises £4,000 for motor neurone disease charity

Hundreds of cyclists have raised £4,000 for motor neurone disease research and support by taking part in a charity ride from Longleat.

The Lionheart Sportive returned on Sunday 11th October after a decade away, with 300 cyclists choosing between 100-mile and 100-kilometre routes through the hilly Wiltshire and Somerset countryside. The event was organised by Frome cycling shop Pronto Bikes.

This year’s ride raised money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which funds research into motor neurone disease (MND) and supports people affected by the condition. MND is a rare, progressive disease that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

  • Breast screening campaigners submit formal complaint

Campaigners have submitted a formal complaint over the decision to remove the town’s breast screening unit and the way its relocation was handled.

David Reeves, of Warminster Health and Wellbeing, submitted the complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. He has been supporting a campaign led by deputy mayor Cllr Liz Lee for more than a year to secure the unit’s return.

The complaint raises four concerns, including an alleged failure to consult the local community, a lack of access to data used to justify moving the service to Westbury, and the classification of facilities such as running water and clinical waste disposal as essential rather than desirable requirements.

A local sailing club which has been part of the community for 66 years is set to close, following years of declining membership and rising costs. Members of Shearwater Sailing Club say it has become unviable to continue. The club, based at the Shearwater lake near Crockerton, was founded in 1960 and has provided members with sailing facilities, a launch and jetty, dinghy parking and a clubhouse.

  • Local artist finds inspiration at Warminster Town FC

A Warminster resident has been combining her passions for football and drawing by capturing the action through sketching at local matches. The resident has been attending matches at Warminster Town Football Club, to practice her sketching skills while supporting the local club.
“I decided to go along because you don’t get too much of a chance to draw, particularly people,” she said. “I have been drawing and sketching for about 30 years and this gives me an opportunity to have a go at some live sketching and really having to think fast, watch fast and observe fast.”
Unlike drawing a person who is sitting still, sketching footballers means trying to capture their movements and positions before they change. She said, “You don’t get the same picture as somebody who’s moving and you’re noticing positions and everything like that.
