Malvern Priory Bowling Club

Steve Jenkins, the event organiser, wants to share a personal note with the sports community about the Malvern Priory Bowling Club, located in the heart of Great Malvern. Nestled next to Priory Park and the renowned Malvern Theatres, the club boasts a picturesque setting with views of Malvern Priory and the stunning Malvern Hills, ensuring both bowlers and spectators can enjoy their time thoroughly.

The club holds roll-ups every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 2 pm, with no strict dress code apart from flat shoes. For those without their own bowls, the club offers a selection to borrow. Throughout the season, the club participates in Interclub and League matches, along with friendly matches with other clubs in Worcestershire. Social club afternoons are also quite popular.

Steve points out that Malvern Priory Bowling Club caters to all types of bowlers. Whether you fancy keeping fit with some friendly faces or want to polish your skills for higher-level competitions, the club has something for everyone. New members are always welcome and can try the game for free to see if they enjoy it.

Besides lawn bowling, there's also a Short Mat club, which can be joined separately. For those interested in lawn bowling tours, the club's website offers helpful info for touring teams.

To keep up with the latest news and events, members can check the club's newsletter. Key dates to note include the First Roll-Up on Tuesday, 25th April, and the Big Bowls Weekend Open Day on Saturday, 27th May.

Since its founding in 1937, the club has a rich history of county bowling successes. In 1996, it received a “Sport & Arts” grant, and with additional support from the Malvern Hills District Council, the pavilion was refurbished, including extended changing rooms and a larger function room for members.

For anyone searching for a friendly and inclusive bowling club in Malvern, Steve enthusiastically recommends checking out Malvern Priory Bowling Club. With its great location, variety of activities, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a fantastic place to enjoy lawn bowling.
