WHY NOT TRY THE GAME OF BOWLS?

Bowls is played by those of all ages from 9 to 99.  All are very welcome to come along and try the game on an excellent green with splendid pavilion and facilities.  Recruitment days will be held on Sunday 24th April, Saturday 30th April and Saturday 7th May when members will be on the green to give guidance and encouragement.

Just come along between 10 and 12 and give it a try.  Flat soled shoes, such as trainers, is the only requirement - bowls and other equipment supplied.

WEEKLY PROGRAMME 
Monday evenings: a chance to play mixed bowls for points - a great opportunity to gain experience of all aspects of the game 
 
Tuesday mornings: men`s "rollup" where balanced teams are picked and 8 ends are played. A further 8 ends follow a break for coffee and a chat in our club house. Points are awarded which go towards the presentation of the Claret Cup at the end of the season.

In the afternoon, and on Thursdays, Townsend ladies have their "rollups." 
 
Wednesday afternoons: This is a great opportunity to meet bowlers from other clubs - we play friendly matches, giving all members a chance to get involved. 
 
Saturdays / Sundays : during weekends we have matches against other local clubs on a home and away basis. Most are friendlies, some are more serious than others, but all are played in the pleasant spirit that characterises bowls at all levels! 
 
Bank holiday wekends : we have Gala Days normally involving either a club competition or one also involving bowlers from other clubs 
 
Club Competitions: Trophies are there to be won in numerous mens, ladies and mixed, handicap and open competitions. 
 
Other Competitions: Individual entries at National, County and District level are encouraged, with teams also entered to represent the club. 
 
Winter season: (October - March) during this period we meet regularly on Tuesday mornings for coffee and biscuits. During these meetings we play cards/dominoes/pool or short mat bowls. We also play against other local bowls clubs on their indoor rinks. 
 
Bar / Clubhouse: There is a well stocked bar with drinks at club prices which is open most evenings. Our new clubhouse has a large screen TV, pool table and darts board which are available for members and their guests.
