Valverde Bowls Club is always happy to welcome bowls tours from UK (or elsewhere).
We can put up teams to play against tour parties of up to 8 rinks.
The lists below summarise planned and past tours. Clicking on each link will give details
- game scores for past matches, Valverde teams (when selected) for future matches.
These games are always played in a good spirit, and are an ideal gentle introduction
for the inexperienced player to the world of competitive match play
Any club planning to visit the Algarve and wishing to arrange to visit Valverde
should contact the club secretary,
Jan McGlynn .
We are a Bowls Club and not a travel agency, so we cannot book flights, hotels, etc.,
but
we are happy to recommend Personal Touch and Bowling Abroad,
who both specialise in organising bowling holidays to the Algarve (and elsewhere).
