Membership And Contact

New members and visiting teams are welcome. For enquiries, reach the club secretary, Mrs Jackie Playford, using the link below.

The club annual subscription is currently £15 per year for existing members and £60 for new members, which includes the supply of one club shirt, clubhouse key and bowls stickers.

History – The club was formed in the late 1990’s at the park but did not have a green at that time. It rented a local bowling green until the then park owner allowed a large area to be used. As the club grew the park then built the proper 6 rink bowling green that exists today.

The current owner, Mr John Sargeant, continues to maintain the green for the benefit of both the club and other residents who bowl on a casual basis.
