Richmond Park Bowls Club
One of our most popular events of the year is happening on Saturday 26th April.
It's your chance to have a go at the compelling and challenging game of bowls.
There are so many variables involved - some you have control over, like your skill level, hand-eye co-ordination and concentration - some you don't, such as vagaries in the bowling surface and of course, the good-old British weather. You can never be absolutely certain that your bowl will go where you intend it to!
Come to the club anytime between 10 am and 4 pm and one of our members will be happy to take you through the basics of the game. It's a sport for all ages - one of our players is still in his teens - so why not bring the family along?
It's free!
There is no charge for attending the event and we supply all the equipment - just wear flat-soled shoes to protect the green - no high heels please!
See you there!
If you ask our members why they joined our Bowling Club, most of them would say it was because of the warm and friendly welcome they received when they first walked through the door.
We’re a diverse bunch and there are no cliques or club politics - we all get on well and love the game of bowls.
We have a professionally-maintained bowling green and it’s easy to get to from all parts of Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. As a member you’re entitled to use it as often as you like throughout the bowling season (April - September).
Our spacious clubhouse has a fully licensed bar where drinks and snacks are available after every game and during social events. We also have a widescreen tv showing Sky Sports and a pool table, plus free wi-fi - all courtesy of Winton Cricket Club who share the clubhouse with us.
There’s a hugely popular Quiz Night on the last Friday of every month, and during the off season there are various indoor activities to get involved in, including short mat bowls, darts and card games.
We play Bournemouth and District League matches against competing clubs on Saturday mornings and afternoons and on Tuesday evenings.
Each year there are various club competitions you can enter to test yourself against the other club members, and there’s also the chance to play friendlies with touring clubs that visit us from time to time during the season.
*Any touring clubs that would like to include Richmond Park on their trip please get in touch.
If you’re a new bowler who wants to learn the game, or a more experienced player who wants to move clubs and you’re keen to know more about playing for us, contact us now - or if you’re ready to join, download a membership form - we look forward to welcoming you to our club.
Hope to see you soon.
