Cornard Bowls Club, located in Great Cornard near the Stevenson Centre, has been the go-to place for bowlers in Sudbury for over fifty years. Run by a friendly bunch, the club offers a great spot for everyone – from newbies to national champs.
Doug, one of the local legends, ensures that beginners get free coaching from qualified county coaches, helping them up their game in no time. They're known for producing some top-notch talent, with even national and county champs among the members.
The club dives into five different leagues, so there's plenty of action for competitive types. For those who prefer a more laid-back game, they've got social bowling sessions too – a great chance to enjoy the sport without any pressure.
There’s a vibrant senior section as well, with regular sessions and a chance to catch up over tea and biscuits. At just £1.50 a session, it’s affordable and fun, often stretching into the afternoon.
The outdoor season runs from late April to September, and when winter kicks in, you can join in for carpet bowls on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, or Friday evenings. Their clubhouse is a hive of activity with quizzes, race nights, crib nights, and fun days happening all year round.
So, whether you're a pro or picking up a bowl for the first time, Cornard Bowls Club, spearheaded by Doug, is the place to be. Pop over and experience the warm, inclusive vibe they’re known for. For more info and updates, check out their official website.
