Today we were delighted to officially open our bowling green for the 2026 season, with the honour of the first bowl played by our President, Ruth Lowe. Ruth would like to wish all our members a very successful and enjoyable season ahead.

A big thank you goes to all the volunteers who worked hard to prepare the green and surrounding areas over the past weeks – your efforts are hugely appreciated and help make days like today possible. Thank you also to everyone who came down to join us for the opening.

Our green is now officially open for the 2026 season! 🎉

If you’ve ever thought about trying crown green bowling, now is the perfect time. It’s a great way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, meet friendly people, and be part of a welcoming community. The game is suitable for all ages and abilities, and you can play socially or competitively at your own pace.

For anyone looking to start crown green bowling, or for bowlers looking for somewhere new to play, feel free to private message us for more information. We also have a selection of second-hand bowls available to purchase for those just starting out, so getting into the game is easy and affordable.

We look forward to seeing plenty of new and familiar faces on the green this season! 🌱
