CHILTERN & THAMES BOWLING ASSOCIATION<br />
Founded in 1979 by clubs in Chesham, Bucks, this league consists <strong>of</strong> 3 mixed<br />
triples and has now expanded to 7 leagues, grouped on a geographical basis<br />
with no movement between them.<br />
<strong>Berkshire</strong> has Wargrave and Wraysbury currently playing in this cross-border league,<br />
(which goes into Bucks and Middlesex), but one <strong>of</strong> the founder members Hurst, no longer<br />
participates.<br />
The Leagues are: – Thames North, Thames East, Thames South West, Thames West, Mid<br />
Thames, Chilterns South and Chilterns North, with Wargrave in Thames West and Wraysbury<br />
in Mid West, with 5 teams in each league.<br />
Each league produces a winner, after a home and away match against each other, who<br />
together with the highest scoring runner-up <strong>of</strong> all the leagues, then go forward to a<br />
quarter-final played on one day. Then on another day, the semi and final are played.<br />
Wargrave have been the winner <strong>of</strong> this league on more than one occasion.<br />
Sometimes an extra rink is played to accommodate the needs <strong>of</strong> other bowlers, but any<br />
score achieved does not count for point’s purposes.<br />
This competitive league is ideal for small mixed clubs and is played on a mixture <strong>of</strong> artificial<br />
and grass surfaces.<br />
Additional clubs from <strong>Berkshire</strong> are welcome, and should contact The Secretary John<br />
Bristow, on 01494 583085 for further information.<br />
