Welcome to Stratton Churchway Bowls Club.

The club has an outdoor 6 rink bowling green, with a Club House.

Social Events take place from time-to-time throughout the year, (Skittles and Bingo during the off season). Members, families and friends are always welcome at these events.

Bowling is a fun sport that can be played at a social or competitive level.

New members or those returning to bowls, no matter what ability or age you will find a warm welcome at our club.

Come on a Friday evening (weather permitting) from 7:00pm or Tuesday Morning 10.30am during the season - End of April till End of August.
All we ask is that you bring flat soled shoes without a heel (to protect the green). Equipment will be provided to use: Bring the whole family and tell your friends to come along with you!

Here are our top 5 reasons to give bowls a try:

1. Playing bowls is very doable. Whatever your physique, bowls is a sport for everybody and it will help improve your fitness levels and mental wellbeing.

2. Bowls is not expensive. To get going you don’t need lots of new kit and clubs put on taster sessions for free. Even when you get the bug, a set of bowls and joining a club can cost as little as £90.

3. After football, bowls has the second highest number of clubs in the country. With so many places to play, it’ll take no time at all to get to a bowls club close to your home.

4. Compared to most sports, age and gender differences have less of an effect on a game of bowls, so it’s a perfect sport to spend time and enjoy a bit of friendly competition with your family.

5. Bowls clubs are sociable places full of people looking to have fun, so bowls is a great way to relax, make new friends and feel part of your local community.

Lockdown easing: 10 things you CAN do this summer

From an article on the BBC Website https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53417675

Number 9 Take Up Bowls

With people now looking for alternative sports that allow them to maintain social distance and play outside, the non-contact activities of bowls and golf are firmly back on the agenda. Before lockdown, an increasing number of young people had been taking up lawn bowls - once the domain of elderly men and women dressed in white.

Now Bowls England says the coming weeks and months are "an opportunity" for those "who currently don't play, to give bowls a try".

However, there are strict rules. Empty rinks are to be kept between players, clubhouses must remain closed except for essential access, for example, the use of toilets and washing facilities, and equipment must be cleaned before, during and after play.

If you would like more details please contact James (Secretary) on 01793 335620 or use the Contact Page Form. To make arrangements for you to to try your hand at bowls.
