Are you the owner of Bourne Town Bowls Club?
Mark, the organiser, wants to share some exciting news with the sports community about Bourne Town Bowls Club. When the Abbey Lawn site became available, the club saw a golden chance to relocate and establish a new home, moving from the artificial green that now serves as the car park of the Bourne Academy.
Since that move, the club has turned into a bustling spot for lawn bowl enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Mark highlights that whether you're a seasoned bowler or just starting out, the club will support and guide you every step of the way.
The club features a meticulously maintained green with six to seven rinks, thanks to their devoted greenkeeper. From mid-April to the end of September, members can engage in a rich programme of matches and competitions. Bourne Town Bowls Club also participates in the Stamford, Spalding, and Peterborough leagues.
Mark also points out that aside from league play, the club organises regular fun bowling days and social events. These are great opportunities to bring members together, enhance camaraderie, and simply have a good time. Spectators are welcome to watch matches free of charge, making for an enjoyable day out.
For those thinking of joining, Mark emphasises the numerous benefits. Members gain access to club facilities and can join in weekly friendly Roll-Up sessions. There are also opportunities to be part of league teams and club competitions. More details on taster sessions and joining can be found in the 'What We Offer' section.
The club's history is rich and meaningful, with roots tracing back to 1921 when John Robert Arnold MBE established the Congregational Sports Club. The eventual formation of the Bourne Abbey Lawn Bowling Club, which thrived for over 60 years before having to close, led to the creation of Bourne Town Bowls Club. This new club became a home for displaced members, keeping their passion for lawn bowls alive.
Mark warmly invites anyone interested in a welcoming bowls club in Bourne to consider Bourne Town Bowls Club. With access to a well-kept green, a robust schedule of matches and competitions, and a chance to build lasting friendships, it’s a wonderful community to be a part of.
