Become a member of our ClubWant to become a member of our Bowls Club? Below you will find useful information on how to set yourself up as a player at our club, how much a membership costs and what we offer at the club.
In the first instance you can contact me, Jim Djouma, details below. I will arrange a practice session free of charge with myself or another member of the club. We also have four Open days during the bowls season where potential new members may come along and see if they like it. A practice session is called a, 'roll up'. The first open day this year will be held on 30th April between 10am and 3pm.
All that is required is a set of bowls. We have spare sets of bowls in the clubhouse. They are of different weights and sizes and will be suitable in size for both male and female bowlers. Should you wish to play/practice more the sets of bowls can be loaned out.
Initially for practice sessions and informal roll ups the code of dress is very relaxed. Because the playing surface is key to playing the game, all bowlers must wear flat soled shoes or other footwear that does not impact or break the top of the grass surface.
For women trousers or skirts are fine and a top that is suitably comfortable to move freely whilst bowling will fit the initial dress code.
For men trousers/cords/jeans and t shirt type top fits the code.
There should be minimal cost for new members.
However, should you join the club a club t shirt will need to be purchased to play in friendlies and competition matches against other clubs. A more formal dress code will be required but all this is at minimal cost.
For newcomers there is a discount in the region of 50%, with an outlay of £60
