Group Members Bowling

All members of the club are welcome to come and enjoy a friendly game of bowls. No matter what standard you are, even if you have never played bowls before, there will be members around to take you on the green and show you how to play.

​

Group Members bowling sessions are held from 2pm to 4pm on Tuesdays and Sundays during the season. Some Sunday sessions will be deferred if there is a competition at that time – see Club Handbook for details.

We'd love you to come down and give it a try. Rackets and bowls members can play without limit, and social members can play up to three times a year. Bowls and equipment can be provided; there are sets of bowls in the cupboard in the Raymond Prior Bowlers Lounge for members to use (labelled “Club Bowls”). 

Bowling Guidelines & Etiquette

All bowling members are required to wear flat-soled shoes which will not damage the green.

​

• League rules do not allow open-toed shoes or sandals to be worn by anyone going onto the green during a match.

• During social sessions members may arrange their own singles or doubles but should remember the West Heaton custom of inviting those waiting to play to join them regardless of bowling standard.

Coaching

Please see the Bowling Notice Board in the bowlers lounge, or check with the Bowling Committee.

Visitors & Guests

Members may bring the same guest to play on only three occasions in any one year; after three visits, it is expected that the visitor will apply to become a Bowling or Rackets Member. The same rule applies to Social and Country Members.
