Events

Bowls Big Weekend 2025

Our Club will be hosting Bowls Big Weekend on Saturday 24 May and Sunday 25 May. Last year’s Open Event was a most successful weekend, attracting over 40 visitors and we recruited many new members. Our specially prepared Bowls Trail was very popular and gave our guests a taste of this fun and sociable outdoor sport.

If you are unable to visit us on the above dates or would like to come earlier please don’t hesitate to give us a call.  We are always glad to make contact and to welcome you to our Club. Come with family and friends to watch or try out bowling.  Please {click here} for more details.

Pre-Season Workshops

The Club holds special workshops just before the start of each season to refresh our players on their bowling skills and techniques, measuring and marking rules, and any updates on the Laws of the Sport.
