Powys venue to host Britain's elite bowlers this summer
The British Bowls Championships and International Series will be held at Llandrindod Wells Bowling Club from next month.
The showpiece event begins on Monday, June 23 and will conclude on Sunday, June 29.
Practice will dominate Monday before the championships take place on Tuesday and Wednesday with the international series beginning on Thursday after Wednesday morning's opening ceremony.
Llandrindod Wells Bowling Club is the largest bowling club in Wales.
Set in the heart of the Welsh countryside with panoramic views, there are three greens of international standard catering for all levels of competition.
A major venue, the club is host to national, international and county bowling events throughout the season, as well as club competition.
The series will see the top bowlers from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and Jersey compete in singles, pairs, triples and fours disciplines.
The event will bring over 300 bowlers from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and Jersey to Llandrindod Wells for a week long feast of bowls action.
The event will bring hundreds of bowlers and spectators to the event using the local bars and restaurants, pubs and accommodation within the town and the local area.
Entry to the event is free and is a great spectacle with action each day from 8.30am until 8.30pm.
Powys will be well represented with June Morgan, Barbara Sheers, Fiona Preece and Jo Weale of Presteigne Bowls Club competing in the ladies fours championship.
Berriew's Caroline Taylor captain's the senior women's side in the international series and is joined by club-mate Emma Gittins along with Naomi Evans from Llanidloes and Jo Weale from Presteigne.
