News from the Parishes December 2024 & January 2025
Bowling Club

The Bowling Club meets on Wednesday evenings and generally on the first and third Saturday of the month although as we play home and away matches in the Lisburn and Distict Indoor Bowling League we may not always be in the hall on Wednesdays.

New members are very welcome and there are several of our existing members quite willing to share their knowledge with those who are less familiar with the game.

There is always plenty of craic and a cup of tea. For further details please contact Patricia on 028 92665310 or 07713 257691

Annahilt Parish Bowling Club was formed in the mid 1960’s and is probably the oldest club in the immediate vicinity. While a Parish organisation, membership is open to all in the community of any age and over the years has been greatly supported by those from the locality.

The main Office Bearers are:
President Rev Canon Robert Howard
Captain Miss Patricia Halliday
Vice-Captain Mr Trevor Hill
Hon Secretary Mrs Beth Harrison
Hon Treasurer Mr Nelson Mawhinney


For a number of years the club ran very successful Open Pairs Tournaments and raised substantial amounts of money for charities. Due to the immediate closing of bowls in March 2020 following the outbreak of Covid, the finals of 2020 were unable to be held until March 2022. A donation of £1000.00 was forwarded to Air Ambulance from the 2020 tournament.
Pictured below are the winners and runners-up of the 2020 finals. Regrettably the club has been unable to resume this annual event.
