The bowling season runs

10.30pm. In the summer we have three "roll up" sessions on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday afternoons. These sessions are from May until the end of August. The
extra fee charge for members is £10, the "roll up" fee is £2.50 per
session. Visitors pay a separate fee of £4 per
session.
Competitions We enter ladies and gents into the
Middlesex, National and Regional Championships for singles, pairs, triples and
fours events. The club enters the National Club Competitions these are - The
Denny Trophy, Denny Memorial the Yetton Trophy, Mason Trophy and the Egham
Trophy. We also have county league competitions. This involves the club playing
4 teams against other indoor bowls clubs on a 2 home 2 away basis for the title
of County Club Champion.
The Bowls
Hall
In addition to
this we have over 70 friendly games against other indoor and outdoor clubs
around and about the local area. These games are well supported and fun to play
in. For those wishing to compete against their own club members, there are
internal compititions ending in April when the finals are held. There are also
the drives running throughout the season. This is a great way to meet and
compete with and against other colleagues for prize money.
Cheers!
