Background & Activity
The Club plays lawn bowls outdoors on its Green between the end of April and the end of September. Members may use the Green at most times subject to it not being already booked. For novice members, coaching can be arranged.
Lawn Bowls
Our Green has 6 rinks, which are used for league matches, club competitions, Friendlies and roll-ups.

Between the months of September and April, the Clubhouse is converted into an indoor "Green", with two Short Mats. These mats are 45ft long and 6ft wide, and the simple (yet challenging) objective is to get your bowls closer to the jack than your opponents.

Captains Day
Betty's Spoons
Presidents Day
There are also knock-out tournaments held in each season, these can vary but the core is:
