Group of players on the crown green bowling green in discussion

The group will introduce members to Crown Green Bowling and provide the opportunity for competitive play. Some coaching is available for those who are new to the sport.


The only equipment needed are flat soled shoes (no open toes for safety's sake), waterproofs (if it is raining), and a small towel (like a bar towel) to dry bowls if it is wet.


The club has a limited supply of bowls and the club volunteers make theirs available for the meetings, if required.

We only bowl during the bowls season which runs from Late March/early April until late August/early September (weather and green condition dependant)
