We will shortly be closing bookings for this year’s Potters Resorts “East Coast Short Mat Bowls Triples & Pairs” event for the Over 50s which is taking place at the UK’s top bowling resort at Hopton-on-Sea in Norfolk from Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May 2026. The event takes place in the famous International Arena with many bowlers from across the country coming back year after year to enjoy a fabulous week of dining, entertainment, and short mat bowls! In line with all Potters Holidays, it is on an all-Inclusive basis so once you arrive your accommodation, food, drinks, entertainment and bowling are all included in the price as well as the opportunity to enjoy other activities on site. By booking through NCSMBA Membership Secretary Teresa Goldsmith you will enjoy a heavily reduced group discount which means you will pay £529 per person for Bungalow Plus accommodation which is £260 below Potters Resorts brochure price. Unfortunately all hotel and single accommodation is completely sold out but a small number of twin and double rooms have been made available by Potters Resorts for late bookings. Contact Teresa now if you wish to take advantage of this fabulous deal before bookings close. Email Teresa at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Remember, this event is open to all short mat bowlers aged 50 and above wherever you play the sport. Come and make lots of new friends at one of the sports most popular events! If you have any questions Teresa will be pleased to hear from you. Bookings are still being taken for the Potters Short Mat Cup Weekend in September (book in day Friday 18-9-26) with some singles available. A very limited supply of rooms are still available for the Potters Pairs event, which runs from Monday 2nd November to Friday 6th November 2026, but be quick as they will soon be gone. Please note that all bookings for these Short Mat Bowls Holiday Breaks must be made through Teresa to ensure your participation in the short mat bowls competitions and to obtain the special prices that are offered through the group which are over £200 cheaper per person than Potters Resorts brochure prices.
