Membership

We are an open and friendly club – we take bowls seriously but our goal is to keep it fun.  We like to enjoy our bowls.

Membership is open to all ages and no previous bowling experience is needed.  You may join at any time and we provide all equipment to help you get started – all you need is a pair of suitable shoes.

We offer FREE coaching (worth £30) to all first-year members.  All club competitions are open to enter and you may enter inter-club friendlies and league matches whenever you feel ready.

Full members have access to the green throughout the season (except for match days) and may arrange their own friendly “roll ups” and practice sessions. 

Members are entitled to bring up to three guests in any one day.  Full members are eligible to enter games organised at every Club Night (Mondays at 5:30pm).

Why not come along to our Bowls Taster Day?

We offer a choice of ways of joining the club.
