Dan Steadman and Perry Martin started discussing the possibility of a bowls shop at the Dolphin Indoor Bowling Club in Poole, Dorset in November 2021 at a chance meeting in a local pub. Within a few days a business plan had been developed and with the support of the board and management at the Dolphin Club, Top Rink Bowls was born! Dan is a very average third generation bowler from Dorset who started bowling in 1985 at the age of 8. At the age of 17, with other interests to pursue, bowls was cast aside until 2016 when he was drawn back to the game by friends and has been playing ever since. Perry on the other hand is slightly better than average. In fact he is a current England International player with over 20 caps. He has also won the National Singles, World U25 Singles, National U25 Singles, National 4s and National Champion of Champions. Perry clearly knows his stuff and having also worked for Henselite for a number of years prior to becoming a partner in Top Rink, his experience and knowledge within the bowls sector is unrivalled.

The Bournemouth Open Tournament is a fantastic event run on the beautiful South Coast often supported by over 1,000 players in several disciplines.
In years gone by several sponsors came forward to help support the event in return for marketing in the event programme and finals day. Now with a Facebook page and website the marketing reach is even further for local and national businesses alike.
The tournament costs just under £2,000 per year to run given necessary expenses such as public liability insurance, Bowls England tournament licence, programme printing, umpire fees and coffee vouchers to name a few.
Currently these costs are paid for out of the entry fees received for the tournament with the balance of entry fees forming the prize fund for the tournament. Sponsors that come onboard and support this great tournament will help bolster the prize fund and in return receive invaluable marketing opportunities in the Bournemouth area and online, as well as the opportunity to attend the finals day each year to bring their own marketing materials should they so wish.
As we look to run the 2022 tournament we should be grateful to hear from you and please get in touch using the contact page on the website, the Facebook page or by e-mailing admin@bournemouthopenbowls.co.uk.
