Roll up at Marlow Bowls Club! 

Liz Nicholls

Felicity Rees invites you all to roll up at Marlow Bowls Club which will welcome you for open evenings from 25th April & open days on 2nd, 4th & 26th May 

Tucked away in the corner of Pound Lane car park and backing on to Higginson Park is the delightful bowling green of Marlow Bowls Club.  

The club is over 100 years old and has more than 100 members. However, we are always keen to welcome new players of all ages. Our outdoor season starts mid-April and continues through the summer months until mid-September. A variety of bowls can be enjoyed: including friendly roll-ups, matches against other clubs, club competitions, county matches and competitions, or even national events. 

The clubhouse has good facilities including a kitchen, changing rooms and a bar where members can buy drinks at very reasonable prices.  

Lawn bowls is an easy sport to learn. A few hours on the green with a coach (which is free of charge) teaching the basics of the game will enable you to deliver a bowl towards the jack.  It takes practice to perfect the skills of the game and learn the rules but you will soon be able to join in with others.  We have bowls available in the club for beginners to use.  

You don’t need any particular clothing for a roll-up – just a pair of smooth-soled shoes.  Members are asked to wear a club shirt and navy shorts or trousers if playing against other clubs in friendly matches or competitions.  

Potential members are welcome to come and try the game on any Friday evening from 25^th April and specifically on our open days; from 6pm on Friday, 2^nd May, and 10am-1pm on Sunday, 4^th May, and also on Bowls England’s Big Bowls Weekend on Monday, 26^th May, 10.30am- 3pm.
