May 2009 - Aberlady win the County Cup - first beating Prestongrange in the semi-final and in a close fought final, winning against E L Co-op.
A Friendly Club - all age groups encouraged
The club is not the largest in East Lothian, indeed there are quite a few that are much larger , but it often performs above it's size. Over the years the club has won many trophies in the county including The County Cup, The Brown Trophy and The Jubilee Cup ( Top Ten ) to name three. Many of them on numerous occasions.
Major achievements include Jock Brodie & Jackie Greenwood winning the British Pairs title in 1988 and Jim Florence, Bill Dunleavey and 'Cha' Greenwood lifting the Scottish Triples trophy in 2000. The latest 'major' trophy to be won is the Scottish Senior Fours title won in 2004 & 2005 by Davie Balfour, George Marshall, Jock Brodie and Jackie Greenwood.
The ladies section at the club has also been very successful, with triumphs in the Haddington Trophy, Champion Of Champions and the East of Scotland competition(s). As with the men's section some of these trophies have been won on more than one occasion.
There is also a thriving Youth Section with its own league team . Many of the youths are already playing to a high standard even though they have not been playing the game for very long.
Bowls is a great game for socialising both on and off the green and a good way of making new friends. The entertainment committee arrange events to ensure that there is something on at the club throughout the year
So whether you have played bowls before or are looking for a new activity, then why not get in touch with the club either by .e-mail or in person at the club. Go on, you know it makes sense.
many members play just for fun but if you are looking to play competatively there are various club competitions you can enter - entry fees for 'club' competitions are included in your annual membership fee.
So come along and have a go - there is a Junior/Youth section so you can also bring along the younger family members.

Bowls Etiquette
Below is a list of ( hopefully ) helpful pointers on bowls etiquette.1. Do not drop bowls on the green.
2. Do not distract your opponent when he is playing his bowls.
3. Be ready to play when it is your turn.
4. Respect novices as you would an experienced player - you were once a
beginner.
5. Remember that in a fours game it is the THIRD player that decides the shots.
6. Bowls should not be kicked in until the shot has been decided.
7. In a Fours Game, the 'second' keeps the score; in a Pairs Game the 'Skip' does.
8. Win or lose, congratulate your opponent - keep your frustrations off the green.
9. It is only a game, ENJOY IT.
