The Bowling Season runs from 1st July to 30th June with no outside play during the winter months.

Whether your passion is competitive or social bowling there is a place for you within our club.

We have various social get-togethers throughout the year with regular Friday night social evenings on the 1st and 3rd week during the winter months starting at 5 p.m.
