Gateshead Indoor Bowls Club

Welcome to GIBC

Welcome to Gateshead Indoor Bowling Club, established in 1975. Our membership is in excess of 375.
In 2015 the members took on the club by asset transfer from local council and we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, run entirely by volunteers.
We welcome all bowlers either experienced or new - with qualified coaches to assist. There is a full programme of leagues - men’s, ladies and mixed. We are continually looking to improve our facilities and have many plans for the future.

COFFEE MORNING

*STILL SOME RAFFLE PRIZES TO COLLECT-PLEASE CHECK YOUR TICKETS AT RECEPTION *

Despite the awful weather and the bus strike we had a great turn out for our Ladies Coffee Morning

As usual the Tombola table was super busy but we were prepared with extra prizes of sweets, chocolate cans of beer and lovely toiletries  and trinkets 

The bacon sandwiches were as popular as ever and there was even yummy homemade Dutch Apple pie and custard

Massive thanks as always to our Ladies Committee for their hard work, time and support planning preparing and supporting the event.  And a big thank you to our volunteer helpers on the day, not forgetting our Cafe volunteers for the lovely food and refreshments. 

Thanks also to our wonderful members for their donations for the hamper, raffles and tombola and to everyone who came and supported the Club on the day - you're all amazing and we couldn't do this without you!!
