LEAGUE PLAY IS COMMENCING

All our lawn bowling leagues have either just started or are about to.

Our Club leagues are open to everyone and that includes our Intermediate and Novice players. We encourage everyone to partake, they are a great way to meet the other club members and hone your skills, be it the actual playing of the game or the etiquette of it. Our two BSI leagues, Women’s Monday AM and Friday Men’s AM have opening and closing dates, and they are both closed now. All the others have lots of room and are structured that you do not have to attend every week.

For more information please use this link to contact the League Coordinators or you can find the information on the page called League & Clinic Table under BOWLING EVENTS.
