The Wrington Vale Skittle League was formed in 1927 at a meeting held at Congresbury Memorial Hall. The first season comprised of nine teams – Congresbury, Wrington, Redhill, Burrington, Worle Village Club, Hewish, East Harptree, and Yatton some of which are still with us.
The League had been running consistently since that first season up until the Special Committee Meeting of September 11th 1939 where the minutes state that ‘Owing to the declaration of War, it was decided to cancel all fixtures and Cup Games’. The League restarted again on July 9th 1945 and has carried on until the Covid pandemic of 2019 when there was an 18 month break.

The Yatton and District Summer Skittle League is a Mixed Charity League who are looking at expanding from three divisions to four. Matches are played on either a Monday or Tuesday evening commencing at 8.00pm. Teams consist of nine players. Since its formation in 1976 the league has raised in excess of £117,000 for various worthwhile charities. Recently the emphasis has been on those that are local. If you are interested in entering a new team please have a look at the website www.yattonanddistrictsummerskittles.co.uk for more information. The website has a contact form or you can phone or message Dave Marks on 07711119589.
At the last two AGMs Mike Mobbs has made the league aware that after being the League Secretary for more than 30 years it is his intention to take a well earned retirement from the post. We are therefore seeking a replacement. There is an annual honorarium paid for this position.
As the league would find it near impossible to run without the Secretaries post being filled we ask that anyone who is interested and would like to discuss the role, or would like any further information, should initially contact either Kevin Tucker (01934 852178) or Mike Mobbs (07837 334552).
Please Note: "Teams can only name players to play in a set if they are present on the alley at the beginning of that set, i.e. they are not able to start late and catch up on missed hands".
The League is missing an Inter League Trophy. It is awarded to the winner of the Wrington Vale v Nailsea Leagues on an annual basis. It was last seen when the Leagues played each other pre-Covid. Can Captains / Players check to see if their Club or Team Members have it please. Thank you.
The Secure Captain's Contact Page has been updated. Note - Renegades now play at Wraxhall Club. Gropers are now called Unpredictables. Welcome to our new team Nailsea Old Boys. There have been some change of Captains.
