Social Bowling

Want to practice by yourself?

Green Times
Are from 10:30am to dusk on every day except when green maintenance delays access to the green, any green maintenance after that will be scheduled in the rink booking system.

Book a rink

You can book a rink to practice by yourself, or if you have arranged to play a singles, pairs or triples game (or match) against other players you can book a rink for that. Under the "Play Bowls" tab in the menu above "How to book" tells you how to go about it, and "Book a rink" takes you to the screen where you actually make the booking

Roll-ups
Monday and Thursday afternoons from 2.0pm are normally reserved for friendly roll-ups at which members make up into teams of triples as and when sufficient players arrive.
Friday night roll-ups normally commence at 5.0pm (4pm in June) and new members are particularly welcome to bowl and take part in the after-match socialising. Dress Code is smart casual.

Internal Matches
Members of all skill levels are encouraged to play in our occasional weekend intra club matches. A form will go up on the Captain's board outside the clubhouse for you to write your name down. Generally, all those wishing to play are accommodated. Because they are at weekends, we wear "white" - club or white shirt, white below the waist.

Club Competitions
There are open and handicapped competitions, so anyone can enter. Entry forms are sent out with the Subscription Renewal forms in March and the draws for each event are posted on the internal notice boards and on the website. Handicaps are assigned to everybody before the competitions start and are displayed on the internal notice boards and published on the website. Click the link in the menu above for more information. Normally played on weekdays, so we wear "grey" - club or white shirt, grey or Bowls England blue below the waist.

Against Other Clubs

Friendly matches
All members are encouraged to play in the games listed in the Fixtures List - there is a mens', ladies’ or mixed match most weeks. They are an opportunity for new bowlers to step up from the roll-ups to something more competitive but still friendly. Keep an eye on the Captain's notice board outside the clubhouse for the "application to play" forms, and put your name down if you can make the date and time. The teams are posted on the same notice board at the start of the week the matches are due to be played. Dress for weekday matches is "grey", at weekends it is "white".
