Welcome
Welcome to Braintree Bowling Club. We are a club where new members, both beginners and experienced are always welcome no matter what your age or abilities.
If you are a beginner, we also hold coaching sessions to get you started on the bowling green.
We hope you will come and join us. If you would like further details, please feel free to contact us.
Our Club
Our Club is a private members lawn green bowling club founded in 1919. We are situated very close to the town centre with nearby transport links. Our facilities include a clubhouse, licensed bar, private parking and of course, a very well kept bowling green.
For non bowlers, we have social membership for accompanying spouses / family of full members. We also run various activities and social events throughout the year.
Members
The Club has a history of success at both National and County individual and team competitions and members are encouraged to enter external competitions.
We enter mixed and non mixed friendly matches and the more competitive games against other clubs and league matches, both home and away. We also have an internal league and a “Roll Up” for club members to play friendly games against each other.
