Taster Sessions

The next taster session of the season is on Sunday 6th July between 1:00pm and 3pm.

During the bowling season between April and September, we have a taster session on the first Sunday of each month. 

The taster session is an open afternoon to give people the chance to come and “have a go”. We even have bowls that you can use, so don’t even think you cannot play because you do not have any bowls.  Members will be there who can assist you & offer tips & advice.

Please wear flat shoes/trainers (not sandals).

It’s all about fun, come along, bring the family, and have a great afternoon enjoying bowling and even if you rather not play, just come along and have a chat and a cuppa on us.

Social Bowling Days.

All members can practice or play before and after home games.

Below are rules in regard to green fees when it comes to bowling on the social days.

On the first Sunday of the month, people who haven’t played before and are trying it with us for the first time, their session is free. If others take advantage of playing who have already had their “free” session. Then they should then pay £2.00 green fees which includes a cuppa. Additional cuppas should be paid for at 50p a cup. If a full member is playing on these Sundays, the usual rules apply – if that member is due to play in a game during the week (Sun-Sat), there is no charge. If that member isn’t playing in a game that week, then the £2.00 green fees should be paid.

These rules also apply to the Social Bowling on Tuesdays and Thursdays, too. If you are a social member, and you play on Tuesday and Thursday, then green fees are £2.00 per session – equalling £4.00. If you’re a full member, and you’ve played or are playing for the club that week (Sun-Sat) then you will only need to pay for the cuppa you have – again, 50p per cup.

If there are any under 18’s who play at any of the social bowling sessions, there is no charge for them, though there should be an appropriate adult in attendance with them.

Should you need further information or have any questions, please contact the chair via email, chair@northcliffeparkcgbc.org.

Bowls’ Big Weekend
Saturday 24th May 2025
1:00pm until 4:00pm

What is Bowls’ Big Weekend?

Bowls’ Big Weekend is an annual national event, designed to introduce more people to the sport of bowls. The event takes place over May bank holiday weekend (23-26 May), during which bowls clubs across the country open their doors to the public, offering free taster sessions, to get more people playing our sport. It’s a fun, inclusive event that welcomes people of all ages and abilities to try the sport in a friendly, supportive environment. The purpose is to promote bowls as a modern, accessible activity that brings communities together while encouraging people to become members of local clubs.

Northcliffe Park Crown Green Bowling Club will be opening our doors from 1pm until 4pm, for anyone to come along and have a go at Crown Green Bowls.

If you have never bowled before, it doesn’t matter, just come along. We have sets of bowls for you to use.  You don’t even need to know the rules, there will be members of the club on hand to guide you though the whole of the game of bowls .

Andy Morton Memorial Trophy Bank Holiday Monday 26th August – 11:00am Start

The Andy Morton Memorial Trophy is just a Northcliffe Crown Green Bowing Club competition, held in memory of Andy Morton.

Please be there for 10:30am to allow the draw to take place for an 11:00am start.

Pairs are drawn out of a hat, on the day, so no one knows who they are partnering.  Every player will get at least two games.

So we need to know who’s coming, please put your name down on the Andy Morton Memorial Trophy list in the clubhouse.

Lunch is a Jacobs Join, if you can contribute food, it doesn’t matter whether it’s homemade, or bought, all donations will be gratefully received.

Please add what you are bringing alongside your name on the list.
