Junior member
We welcome junior players. We offer free coaching, whether you are new to bowls or you already know how to play and want to improve. Our junior membership for under 18s gives access to all the club's facilities at a low cost.
We support Bowls England in their push to encourage more younger people to take up bowls. Many national and international players are young. Bowls featured at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham so now is a great time to get involved. Take a look at the Bowls England website
