The 2026 Chester Bowl is on Sunday 18^th October and is F2F at Deva Bridge Club, Village Road, Christleton, Chester, CH3 7AS.

It is a 2 session event starting at 11am, with a break at half time, and finishing (we expect) at about 6-6:30pm. The format will depend on the number of entrants, either being an all play all over two sessions or a qualifying session followed by a final and consolation event. Blue master points will be awarded on the County Scale, and the winners will have their name engraved on the Bowl trophy. The entrance fee is £18 per person and there will be cash prizes of 20-25% of total entrance fees. It is one of our charity events.

A two course meal is available between the sessions for a further cost of £18. Food choices are i) fish pie, ii) moussaka, iii) courgette tomato & lentil bake, all served with vegetables and followed by a selection of desserts. Alternatively, you can bring your own food. Free coffee/tea, other drinks are available for purchase (wine, beer, soft drinks).
