Sunday the 10th May 13.30 is our Aussie Pairs competition, why don’t you come along and take part. It’s different and lots of fun, a variation on our normal bowls format. If you have never experienced Aussie rules before or an old hand come along and and enjoy an afternoon of bowling.

Summer is almost upon us and thankfully so is outdoor bowls. We open on Saturday the 11th April, the clubhouse and bar will be open from 12 noon, food will be available and of course bowling will commence around 14.00 hrs for those who wish to brave the elements.

We look forward to seeing  all our old members and especially any new members, this year we have installed two Petanque Pistes, so if you are a Petanque player come and have a look or a bowler who wants to have a go, why not?

However bowling is our main activity and we cater for all standards of bowling, for the more experienced/competitive bowlers we have league bowling most nights of the week, if you just enjoy social bowling that is every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, if you are a complete beginner we run coaching sessions with all necessary equipment provided. We also hold many internal competitions and social events throughout the year.

So, if you are a bowler a Petanque player or both why not come along and see what we have to offer.
