Gilbert Stephens Solicitors continue their support of Budleigh Bowls

1st June 2022

Gilbert Stephens Solicitors are proud to announce their new partnership with Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club.  As one of the oldest bowls clubs in Devon, formed in 1903,  it is a privilege to be involved with such a historic and well-loved organisation.

Gilbert Stephens has a long history of supporting local clubs and organisations, and this latest sponsorship is part of their ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities in which they operate.

Dana Mulligan Marketing Manager at Gilbert Stephens visited the Club on 27th May for their Big Bowls Day at which novice bowlers are invited to come along to the Club and have a free trial session at Outdoor bowling.   The Club provided all the equipment and Club members were on hand to offer coaching and advice. The event was well attended and several of the visitors have subsequently joined the Club.

Dana was given a tour of the venue and a lesson in how to play bowls which was a little trickier than she thought! It was also an opportunity to view the new Gilbert Stephens advertising board.

Dana said: “We are delighted to be able to partner with Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club who are a great asset to the community and one we are proud to be supporting.  It is always a pleasure to be able to support local clubs and organisations and to meet those involved. The Club is clearly doing a great job in promoting bowls in the area and we are glad we can help them in their efforts  I really enjoyed my first attempt at bowls, it’s lots of fun and I can’t wait to try it again – safe to say I need quite a lot more practice!”

Tony Mackness, the Club Captain, commented “We are very fortunate to be supported and sponsored by several local organisations, including Gilbert Stephens, the leading firm of solicitors, who have one of their offices in Budleigh Salterton. We look forward to hosting an Open Day for Gilbert Stephens later in the year”.

Dana added “We wish Budleigh Bowls Club every success for the future and look forward to seeing them go from strength to strength.  I may even think about joining myself!”

Gilbert Stephens Solicitors have branches in Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Ottery St Mary, Okehampton, Exeter and Crediton.  They offer legal advice for every chapter in life.  You can contact them on 01395 445581 or email
