and outdoors, culminating in Club Finals Days. There
are regular Umbrella Evenings, outdoors during the summer

There are 5 indoor leagues in the
summer and 13 leagues in the winter. This provides a
wide variety of play for everyone from beginners to
experienced bowlers.

summer both indoors and outdoors and indoors during
the winter months.
There are regular and specific tuition
and coaching sessions to integrate new bowlers
into leagues and casual bookings to ensure a gradual
involvement in the Club.
Casual booking arrangements are in
place so that individuals and groups can play without
league commitments.
