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.

NEW CLUB UNIFORM
The Club is introducing a new uniform, comprising a new shirt, shorts/trousers, warm jacket, and choice of lighter or heavier weight shower proof jackets.
A free shirt will be given to every Full / Life / Senior and Junior member and Carpet Bowls member (who represent the club in League games), thanks to our three sponsors and members, Steve Bones (P G Bones Plumbing & Heating), Anthony Cornwell (Cornwell Builders) & David Edney (Panners Coffee Bar). The offer of a free shirt will expire to existing members (and new applications prior to 31st March).
ORDERING YOUR NEW UNIFORM
To help members select the right size items, we have arranged for the selection of shirts, shorts/trousers and jackets to be available in the clubhouse. For fittings or to place your order, please contact: chair@braintreebowlingclub.com or contact Malcolm Stark or Paul Costin who can supply you with garment Size Charts for you to make your selection.
Prices for clothing items will be clearly displayed and will require a £10 deposit per item ordered. Cash is preferred but card payment will be available.
PLEASE NOTE
Players in NWE League/Competitions, CMBL/Competitions, County and National Competitions will be expected to play in the new shirt and shorts/trousers once they are available.
If you did not place your order for clothing by the end of February, you will not receive your items until the middle of the playing season or possibly later.
Your Renewal Packs are also available when visiting the club. (One error on welcome notes – NWE 1st Trial day should read 23rd April not 2nd as shown).
