Welcome to our website, created to provide an insight into our both friendly and competitive club. Established in 1924 and flourishing with a membership of well over 160. You will find our present day management well prepared for 21st century bowling.The outdoor season starts around mid April and ends mid September. During that time we play some 60 - 70 matches against other clubs both during the week and at weekends. In these games bowlers of all abilities are invited to take part and bowls being a social game, most matches are followed by a snack and a drink from the well stocked bar.
During the week there is social bowling, called roll ups, when the game is simply played for fun and is a great time to practice and improve.
We also play a number of competitions within the club open to all members and those who like to progress further can also enter all the County and National Competitions. In addition, the men play in the Oxfordshire League and Ladies play in the Oxfordshire Top Club Competition.
The indoor short mat season runs from October to April. We have 2 mats which are normally available on Monday, Tuesday and Friday for games and matches. Again, bowlers of all abilities are invited to take part and the bar is open.
“It’s a young person’s game that old people can play”
Gone are the days when the game was perceived as a game for the old, people of all ages play successfully and thoroughly enjoy it.
If you are thinking you would like to come into the game you may appreciate knowing that we are relaxed about our dress code, especially for beginners. Only once a member, and playing in club matches would we ask players to wear our club colours.
However, to protect the playing surface, flat soled shoes are a must. Bowls and all other necessary equipment can be
provided by the club to set you on your way, with guidance and help from our qualified coaches.
Our playing surface is professionally maintained and is arguably the finest in Oxfordshire. In summer the club is open for play every day from 11:00 in the morning.
Our modern clubhouse facilities are excellent, having been completely rebuilt in 2020 including a superb L-shaped bar, good sized kitchen, changing rooms and meeting room.
Drop by and see if you would like to give the game a try.
