Facilities
A private members’ club, our facilities provide both indoor and outdoor bowling. The indoor green consists of 6 rinks, but is currently just four, to make the club Covid safe. In addition, a new air conditioning system has just been installed to bring in fresh air and improve air quality and temperature monitors have been installed in the entrance hall to improve the safety of the club to our members.
The main outdoor green is an all-weather surface of six rinks, but can be made into seven, as the need arises. Our outdoor facility generally operates during the summer months, but in these difficult times has been used, when permitted at other times to provide access to bowling when our indoor facility has been forced to close.
