The Hungerford Bowling Club had a lovely game against the Falklands Bowls Team and they presented us with a shield and a card to say thank you for our hospitality and allowing them some valuable practice on grass. We of course wished them well as they travel to Orkney to compete in the Island Games 2025

Bowls adds Roll Up session on Monday evening.

Did you know that the Bowling Club hold club Roll Ups three times a week? The Monday evening session was added for those who cannot make the afternoon sessions.

Roll Ups are for all Bowling members and for Indoor Sports and Tennis members who would like to try bowling. You can use them as practice sessions and there will be someone present to help you with your bowling.

  • Monday Evening between 6.15 and 8pm
  • Tuesday Afternoon between 2 and 4pm
  • Friday Afternoon between 2 and 4pm

Dress is casual, but with suitable bowls shoes.

We do ask for a £1 fee when you roll up as this helps with the cost of maintaining the green. For more information email hungerfordbowls@gmail.com or contact the Ladies Captain (phone numbers are on the Bowls Contact page).
