Whether its Outdoor or Short Mat Bowling we could be the club you're looking for. If you are interested why not come along and have a go, we plan to have open days on Friday 28 May from 5:30pm and Sunday 30 May from 10am to 12pm and again on Friday evenings from 5:30pm thereafter. If these dates are not convenient then contact Christine (01235 200325) or Peter (01865 391037) to arrange a date/time.

All you need to start is a pair of flat shoes/trainers the club will provide the bowls, we have a number of different sizes for you to try.
Bowls is a naturally socially-distanced, non-contact activity and plays a key role in the mental and physical health of many across the country. The club obeys all COVID-19 related guidelines.
The bowling green and club house are on one level offering easy access for every one we also have a disabled toilet. We have a bar which is open on match days. We have qualified coaches to help you with the basics and many experienced bowlers to support you to encourage your progress to join in friendly games and beyond. Our members range from teenagers to the over 80s.

If you are arranging a tour and looking for somewhere to stop mid way, we can offer you a game. Contact Richard
