We are always looking for new people to take up bowls, men and women, and it’s really very easy. And if you’ve not played before, it’s cheap as well: you only pay £35 in the first year rather than the full subscription of £100.
If you think you might like it, the Club of the Year 2024 isn't bad place to start. We can provide bowls and other equipment. Just wear flat-soled shoes (please – no sandals, for safety reasons. A bowl travelling at speed packs quite a punch).
Our Taster Days have all happened, but you can come along to our Club Nights. These are usually on a Tuesday evening, except when the green is needed for league matches, when it shifts to Friday. You will find a full list of Club Nights here.
You won’t need specialist bowls clothing straight away when you join. New members have a few weeks leeway to obtain the kit. Then you’ll need club shirts and grey or white trousers or skirts. The 'old-style' shirts are perfectly acceptable for club nights (available cheap while stocks last), but for representative matches you will need the new ones.
If you’re uncertain about anything, you can contact our club secretary first: Mark Tapley, Phone 07857 555387, Email
Bowls has an image of being for older people, and many of our members do fit into that category. Playing can keep you active and engaged for many years – we have several players well into their 80s. But if you watch bowls on television, you’ll see that the top players are younger, and may well have started in their teens, as several of our own top players did. And amongst our best players currently we have two who represented Cornwall U-25s at the National Finals in Leamington Spa in recent years. You can’t be too young or too old to play – don’t let age be a barrier.
Once you get going, you’ll find a lot of useful information about how the club works on our ‘General Information’ page.
