Essex County Short Mat Bowls Association
Proudly Presents the

Sammy Lambert Charity Triples

Sunday, 13th September 2026
Venue: East Hanningfield

The Essex County Short Mat Bowls Association is proud to host the Sammy Lambert Charity Triples on 13th September 2026 at East Hanningfield.

Sadly, Sammy Lambert passed away in 2017. Sammy was a passionate advocate for the game of short mat bowls in Essex and served for many years as the Association's President, a role he carried out with great dedication, commitment, and pride.

In memory of Sammy, and in partnership with his wife Linda and the Lambert family, the Essex County Short Mat Bowls Association established the Sammy Lambert Charity Triples in 2018. This years event raises funds for Marie Curie, a charity that provides invaluable care and support to people living with terminal illness and their families across the UK.

Visitors can also read Sammy's own account of how the Essex County Short Mat Bowls Association was formed on the About Us page of the Essex website. His vision, leadership, and commitment played a significant role in developing and strengthening short mat bowls throughout the county.

This annual charity event is held in recognition of Sammy's outstanding contribution to Essex short mat bowls and to ensure that his legacy continues while supporting a cause that was close to the hearts of his family.

We look forward to welcoming clubs, players, and supporters for a day of competitive bowls, friendship, and fundraising in Sammy's memory.
