Welcome to Plimmerton Bowling Club, where bowlers from all walks of life come together, including teenagers honing their skills, to the more experienced veterans, and other sportsmen and women seeking something a little different, who still relish the challenge of competition or simply prefer pleasant afternoons enjoying a social roll-up on our green.

​​​​​​​Competitive bowling gets underway during mid-September and runs through until late April. However because we have an artificial green bowling is possible all year round.

We provide a great opportunity for teams and players of the winter sports to play together and stay together throughout the summer months during their off-season.

Our clubroom and/or green can be made available for the occasional social function, company seminars, or for groups who meet on a regular basis.

Photography 

We take photographs at club events, competitions and social activities to promote club activities and to keep all our members connected. We use these photographs on the Plimmerton Bowling Club website, our Facebook page and club emails to support our members who are competing and show members having fun at bowls. This builds camaraderie as a bowling community and demonstrates to our sponsors that we are an active and engaged organisation. 

You can request not to be photographed at any club event. You can also ask for removal of images featuring you from our materials. Parents or guardians can request removal of images featuring minors. Please do not participate in group photographs, if you do not want your image to be published. 

If we do not hear otherwise we will assume you are happy to be photographed during club events.

Situated at 11 Grays Road, Plimmerton, the club is immediately accessible from State Highway One and is within 5 minutes easy walk of the Plimmerton railway station. There is ample off-street parking available.

The Club has a top quality, full size artificial green, available for club and casual play, including galas all year round. This green is considered to be one of the best in the Wellington region.The well appointed clubrooms (see photo gallery) are licensed with bar & a dart board! The clubrooms, with a full size kitchen area, are available for hire.

Coaching is available each Monday afternoon and practice sessions for members continues on Wednesday mornings.
