Gerrards Cross Bowls Club

I’d like to welcome you to Gerrards Cross bowls club, one of the most successful yet friendliest clubs around!

I am honoured to be club president and my role is to make sure that every member, or potential new member enjoys their time at the club. Whether you are a keen and competitive bowler, fancy a friendly roll up or just want to enjoy the club facilities as a social member, you will find something you are looking for at Gerrards Cross.

I encourage you to look through the website and see what we have to offer bowlers of all levels. There are some great social nights being planned too so there’s lots to look forward to apart from bowling!

If you are thinking of joining Gerrards Cross and never bowled before we can work out a coaching programme that will get you up and bowling before you know it. We are nothing without you the members who make this club what it is.

Welcome to Gerrards Cross!

Come and try Bowls

Looking to learn a fun new activity? Keen to meet new people? Bowls is a great sociable game for all ages and abilities. If you are interested in having a go, why not come to our Open Day which we usually hold in June. You will be introduced to the basics and can have a go on our beautiful bowling green, followed by a drink and some food in the bar. If you can't make the Open Day don't worry, we also offer free taster sessions. You don't need any equipment to have a go, just a pair of flat soled shoes as everything else is provided.

Playing the game

Once you have learnt the basics, there are lots of opportunities to play that cater for everyone, whether you are playing for fun or you would like to play at the highest level. We hold informal Roll-Ups (just turn up!) on Mondays and Thursdays at 2.00p.m and Fridays at 5.00p.m. These fun games provide the opportunity to build on the basics and learn more about how to play bowls. We also have lots of friendly matches against other clubs that can help you learn more about the game and a range of other club, county and national competitions.

What do I need?

Not much! Initially, all you need to play are some flat soled shoes - shoes without ridges or studs on the bottom. We will provide bowls when you are learning and you can then buy a set once you decide if you want to join. For more information on bowls equipment, click here. For Roll-Ups and when practicing, you can wear whatever you want. For friendlies and other competitions, we play in either blue, white or grey and our club shirts.

How do I join?

Joining really doesn't cost much. If you think you would like to join us, you can access a coaching programme with one of our experienced coaches for £30 to learn the basics. After that, if you would like to join, annual membership is £150 (less the £30 you have already paid for coaching). Junior membership costs £25 and our full price list can be found here.
