Information for Members

Indoor Bowls

During the indoor winter season (from September to April) there are numerous club leagues, drives and friendlies for men, ladies and mixed teams in combinations which are available to suit all tastes and levels of ability, with casual play being available on most days when pre-booked.

During the summer season (April to September) the indoor facilities also remain open for members and visitors, enabling players to enjoy taster sessions, continue training or enjoy the leagues, mixed friendlies and competitions, regardless of the weather outside.

Joining a League/Forming a Team

This is generally by invitation from the Team Secretary/Captain who can register whoever he/she wishes with the League Secretary. Or why not form your own team with your friends as there are invariably spaces available for new teams in most leagues. You can also write your name on the lists on the club notice boards for when you would like to play and scan the other lists where Team Secretaries are advertising for players.

Outdoor Bowls

The club’s outdoor bowling facilities include two greens of 6 rinks each – one grass and the other a high-grade all-weather surface. Both greens include a comfortable viewing area which links to the club’s restaurant and bar facilities enabling supporters and spectators to relax and enjoy matches in comfort.
