Memberships and fees
If you have enjoyed trying bowls and would like to play more regularly you will need to join the club. This is a simple process of completing a short application form to be endorsed by two full members and then approved by the club committee.
We welcome applications from all members of the community and encourage people to join by significantly reducing fees for new bowlers and for those on low incomes.
Annual membership fees contribute to the cost of maintaining the green and running the club, small match and competition fees (£1 - £3) are also paid on a pay as you play basis.
New members are allocated a ‘buddy’ in their first season who can give advice on playing, competitions and equipment.

Applications for reduced fees due to low income are considered on a case-by- case basis and should be supported by evidence, for example eligibility for free school meals. You can pay fees in instalments by making a standing order to the club.
Only members over 18 are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting and stand for office, all other types of membership entitle the member to play but not to vote. Associate members can play subject to conditions but may not vote.
