Clacton & District Indoor Bowls Club was founded in 1936, making it one of the longest running indoor bowls clubs in the county. Despite having to change location over time, they are now happily settled and thriving at their Valley Road site.
York & District Indoor Bowls Club has something for everyone. This inclusive club can provide specially adapted wheelchairs for use on the green as well as offering sessions of Boccia and partially sighted bowls.

This club has a long, detailed history and despite undergoing many changes and developments, one key feature remains the same...

Brentham Bowls Club club was founded in 1905, relocating to its current site in 1916! Their approach is one that we're sure many can relate to, as they state:
“We enjoy the competition of bowls but relish the friendship.”

Farnborough Bowling Club was founded by local residents in 1947 on what was once a disused rubbish pit!
