Live Longer Better Celebration Day - Sept 4th 2025
Sept 4th saw Harpenden Indoor Bowling Club deliver a carpet bowls demonstration at the 2025 Celebration Day of Live Longer Better (LLB), in partnership with Herts Sports Partnership, NHS England and Sports England. The day started with an inspiring address from Angela Rippon and the on stage recognition of Chris Ellins as a recently qualified LLB Champions.
By 12:30 we had enabled 63 new people to sample the game to wild and enthusiastic feedback. Hats off to Tricia, John, Ken and Avril for being generally amazing, a special mention and thanks to Sandridge Village Hall Committee for enabling HDIBC to use their carpet bowls equipment and to Angela Rippon and Catherine McArevey, the Mayor of Dacorum, for being so game.
A big shout out for Team Fozzie
Congratulations to everyone who played for Team Fozzie this summer. After 20 weeks the league was decided by the outcome of singles game played on the very last round of matches. A big shout out to everyone who played their part in a magnificent season, to the 8 brave souls who managed and coordinated teams, to Kit and Jon who pimped their "skills" to make up the numbers for anyone that needed them, and to Andrew, who for the last 12 weeks has put a shift in to enable the draws to take place. Hugs and kisses to Kermit, Gonzo and Animal for giving the league their very best shot.
The Winter FFS league will launch in early October. 37 players have signed up to date. Entries close on Wednesday Sept 24th. If you wish to play then pop me a mail to chris@harpendenibc.co.uk.
Another big shout out for the day time Triples League winners
Congratulations to Team Three for a fantastic win in the Summer 2025 Daytime Triples League. Another league that came down to the last round of matches to decide the winners. Congratulations to everyone involved. A special thank you to Grahame Hiller and everyone involved in the league's organisation and management. None of this is possible without the hard work and generosity of those who volunteer their time and boundless energy.
