Carreras Bowls Club, Basildon

26/03/2026

We’re really pleased to be supporting Carreras Bowls Club, Basildon through the Basildon Area Committee.

Cllr Ferguson, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport, Community and Youth stopped by the club to meet Kevin Knowles from the club and see their work first hand and learn how this funding will benefit everyone who uses the facilities.

Carreras Bowls Club welcomes men and women of all ages and abilities, offering a warm invitation to anyone thinking of giving bowls a try. Their motto says it all: you don’t need to be over 60 to play bowls!

Our Area Committees give residents a real voice in shaping their communities. They help people get involved in the improvements that matter most to them, and they’ve already supported a wide range of projects across the borough.

Funding the new awning at Carreras Bowls Club is another great example of how targeted local investment can boost community facilities and help them thrive.

It was a busy day at Gloucester Park today as we had the pleasure to host the 'Basildon Sporting Trophy' with 9 clubs attending. The sun shone at first but with quite a strong wind and showers in the afternoon the players battled through. There was a good friendly atmosphere as the teams fought for the Trophy.

We are pleased to say that Carreras won - congratulations to Chris, Beverley, Sandra and Dean. 👏👏👏

The runners Up were Hadleigh.👏👏👏

Thank you to everyone who took part and made it a very enjoyable day. Special thanks go to the Carreras support team for all their efforts before, during and after the match. 👏👏👏

A Happy Mother's Day too !
