An outdoor bowling club in the Swansea Valley; in the Neath and District League, Cwmtawe League & Carruthers Shield.
Anchor Bowls are a popular choice for serving and storing food, but can they withstand the high temperatures of the oven? To answer this question, we need to understand the oven-safety features of these bowls.
Throughout the 90's the club had an influential Chairman in Danny Lewis, a successful businessman, and mainly due to his efforts and guidance, became financially very sound, a legacy that remains to this day. Danny was also instrumental in making improvements to the area around the green andupgrading the pavilion. It's worth remembering, as our bowls pavilion reaches the end of its life, that it has served us well, and mainly due to the efforts of the club members of the time, with some support from the Community Council. Some ten years after electricity was introduced into the building, it was demolished to make way for a"state of the art" multi sports facility,a welcomeamenity for the village of Penclawdd. Step into comfort and style with the Dek Anchor, a must-have for men who love lawn bowling. These trainer-style shoes are designed to provide both the look and feel of a classic trainer, combined with the functionality needed for crown and flat green bowls. Located in the pretty seaside town of Saundersfoot, only a few miles from the larger town of Tenby. A six rink indoor bowling green providing a community facility for men, women and youths of all ages.
The club's first success in competitions came in 2007, when a rink from Blue Anchor won the Llanelli Festival Week Fours. The original four were Les Thomas, Vernon Hopkins (still with some improvement in him at that stage), Alan Howells and Keith Tregembo. When Keith's work commitments prevented him continuing after the second round, Dieter Mathias took over the skipping duties, and proved a more than adequate deputy, guiding his team to impressive victories over Dafen Welfare and Graig Merthyr. In the final at Calsonic, they met a Brynhyfryd four skipped by Bryan Kingdon. This wasn't one for Bryan to tell his friends (and anyone else who'd listen) about, however, as the Blue Anchor boys were always in control, and held their nerve to take the title. The key to these shoes lies in their construction – a padded collar and tongue ensure maximum comfort during play, reducing the risk of blisters and discomfort, a common issue in less thoughtfully designed footwear. This, combined with a textile lining, provides a snug and comfortable fit, keeping your feet at ease throughout the game.
What we didn’t like about the Farberware Plastic Bowls
Additionally, stainless steel or silicone bowls are also suitable for oven use and provide a safe and durable alternative to Anchor Bowls. Small and friendly club playing in the Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean and throughout Monmouthshire. On the green, the club's outlook, and fortunes, took a turn for the better in2003, when a man by the name of EmlynLewis joined the club. In 2006 Dieter Mathias became Captain, and proved such a success that he remained in the post up to the 2012 season. During this time the club progressed from being "also-rans" in Div 3, to achieving promotion to Div 1 in 2011. Dieter's captaincy contributed in no little manner to the improved team spirit within the Club, and is reflected in the improved playing performance. Dieter was recognised by the County in 2010,and 2011,and made a number of appearances in the Senior Championship side, only the second player from Blue Anchor to achieve this. Dieter has decided to relinquish the captaincy this year, and his place will be taken by Eric Davies, with Keith Tregembo as his vice Captain. Hopefully Eric can carry on where Dieter left off.

Formed in 1981 from regulars at the Blue Anchor Inn, Penclawdd, in those days a thriving and very popular establishment. Like most things which started in a pub, a challenge was thrown out between some of the drinkers, probably late at night, that one could beat the others at the game of Bowls.A match was arranged at the village Bowling Green at the lower end of the village of Penclawdd.

A short break down of mixing bowl materials
To determine the heat resistance of Anchor Bowls, different tests have been conducted. These tests involve exposing the bowls to specific temperatures for a set period and observing the effects. Blue Anchor's application to join the Swansea Bowling league was turned down, (some say due to the influence and objections of Penclawdd), but fortunately the Llanelli Leagueaccepted the new Club. The results showed that the Anchor Bowls remained intact and did not show any signs of thermal damage.” Guidelines For Safely Using Anchor Bowls In The Oven Situated in the heart of the Rhondda Valley.
