Weekend ‘roll-ups’
We sometimes hold roll-ups where anyone can turn up and have a game/roll-up organised.
Open Days
Once or twice a year we try to advertise around the community to get the neigbourhood along.
Or just ‘rock up’!
Feel free to wander on up by yourself or with friends. Weekend afternoons are often best. Club championships are usually played on Green 2, so Green 1 is generally available. We’ll point you towards the bowls etc.
