Crown Green Bowls is a sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family, from grandchildren to grandparents. It is a non-contact sport that offers a fantastic opportunity to make new friends while having fun. Unlike flat green bowls, where players must stick to designated lanes, Crown Green Bowls allows players to roam freely across the green, adding an exciting element to the game. Marehay Bowls Club primarily plays Crown Green Bowls but also welcomes players from nearby regions such as Wales, West Midlands, and Shropshire.
The club's focus is on providing enjoyment for all players, regardless of their level of experience or competitive aspirations. Whether players choose to remain at the club level or desire to expand their bowling journey to county or national level, the club strives to create an enjoyable and inclusive atmosphere.
Marehay Bowls Club is proud of its clubhouse, which serves as a gathering place for members to socialise and relax. The club also regularly organises fixtures against other teams in the area, such as Belper Over 55's, Belper Saturday A and B teams, and South Derby Friday and Monday teams. The club also hosts floodlit fixtures, offering members the opportunity to play in the evening.
To support its development and maintain the high standard of facilities and equipment, Marehay Bowls Club relies on the generous support of sponsors. The club is grateful to sponsors such as Shire Flooring, Geoff Cox, Marehay Vauxhall, and Skipbag. Com for their contributions.
