Astley Park Men's Bowls Club, nestled in the heart of Seaton Delaval, has been a gem of the community since 1931. It’s a lovely spot for bowlers of all experiences to get together, play, and enjoy.
The club's got a storied past and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, they make sure everyone fits right in. Newbies? No worries. They offer coaching and gear to help you get started and even throw in some fun events like Jumble in the Park every Saturday at 1:30 pm where non-bowlers can dive into the action.
For those who fancy a bit of competition, the club’s in several leagues: Clegg League, Knight League, Blyth Valley Veterans League, and the Coast & District Hately League. Friendly rivalries and good times guaranteed.
There's always something happening at Astley Park. From social shindigs to club-level comps, you’ll never be bored. Keep an eye on the Club Diary to stay in the loop.
They’re also big on celebrating members' achievements, with an Honours Board showcasing past champs and key contributors. So, if you fancy joining, there’s a spot for you. The club welcomes players of all ages and skill levels, with membership fees to suit everyone.
