Are you the owner of Epsom Park Bowling Club?
Jack would like to share a bit about Epsom Park Bowling Club with the sports community. The club's roots trace back to the early 1900s when a small group of keen bowlers gathered to enjoy the sport. Originally known as the Alexandra Bowling Club, it took on its current name in the 1960s.
Over the years, the club has grown significantly in size and reputation. Today, it boasts a membership of 60–70 men and women of various ages and skill levels, all united by their passion for bowling.
Situated within the picturesque Alexandra Recreation Ground in Epsom, Surrey, the club's outdoor season runs from mid-April to the end of September. This provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy the sport in beautiful surroundings.
Throughout the season, a range of activities and events are on offer. Members can take part in men's and mixed league games as well as friendly matches against local clubs. These matches provide a chance to test skills and enjoy social occasions.
Jack and the team organise several invitation events, sponsored by local bowling clubs, which foster a sense of camaraderie among members. These events also allow members to compete against a variety of opponents.
For those wanting to improve or learn the game, Epsom Park Bowling Club provides free coaching from qualified instructors. Whether you're a seasoned player or a complete beginner, the club ensures everyone feels included and supported.
Informal play and practice sessions are also available. The club operates an informal 'ballot' system several times a week, where teams are chosen randomly. They also hold a bowls 'drive' every Monday bank holiday, known for its social atmosphere.
The club competes in county and occasionally national competitions, showcasing the talent and dedication of its members. Over the years, Epsom Park Bowling Club has achieved notable successes and continues to strive for excellence.
