Highworth Bowls Club

Men’s Captain Richard Young and Vice-Captain Rob Etherington with the Highworth team in the new Men’s league shirts – ready for the first home game of the season.

The Club invites visitors to its Open Day on Saturday 12th May, from around 10:30am to 2:30pm.

If you’d like to try your hand at bowling, the Club’s coaches will be on hand to give you a ‘taster’ bowling session. You’ll find that bowls is a sociable game that can be enjoyed at almost any age, and one in which partners can play at the same time, on an equal basis. And with the ever-increasing cost of travel, the Club provides a local sporting option that Highworth residents can enjoy at low cost, and with a low carbon footprint!

If you haven’t visited the Club before, or if it’s been a while since you last visited, please come along and see us – Club members will be pleased to meet you and show you around.

Of course, you don’t have to bowl to be a member of Highworth Bowls Club. Our clubhouse and bar is open throughout the year for our social and bowling members – new members are welcome.

Why not come and see us – just turn up on the day (please bring flat-soled shoes) .

Each year we have one or two pre-season weekend work parties, when club volunteers help to prepare the green and the Club for the new season. For this year, men and lady members are welcome to come along and lend a hand on:

• Saturday 24th March
• and the weekends of 31 March/1st April, and the 7th/8th April.

Work parties generally run from around 9:30pm to 12:30pm. You don’t have to commit to a full weekend or even a day .. just a few hours will be a big help for our team of volunteers getting things ready for another season of bowling.

Green Opening

We will hold the Club Spring Meeting at 10:30 am on Saturday 14th April, to be followed by the ‘official’ opening of the green.

The HBC Men’s section will hold an extra meeting at 7:30pm on 23rd January to discuss and decide on team shirt options for the Men’s evening league games. If you’d like to have a say in what style of shirt will be worn for Men’s league matches, please come along to the meeting.
