Dave has been at the helm of Mawnan Bowling Club in Falmouth, UK, for a while now, making sure the place is buzzing with activity since it kicked off back in 1924. Anyone who loves bowling or fancies giving it a go will fit right in. It's all about having a laugh and enjoying the game, whether you’re a pro or a complete newbie.
Dave is big on getting everyone involved. The club's atmosphere is friendly and low-key, ideal for those who’ve never bowled before. And if you’re competitive, you’ll love the County Mens' and Ladies' Leagues. For those testing the waters, the mixed “Strollers” competition is spot on for easing into the game.
But it’s not just about the competition. Mawnan Bowling Club is all about the social side too. Tuesday and Sunday afternoons are perfect for laid-back “roll ups” – a great time to hang out and play a relaxed game. Plus, the club arranges friendly matches with other clubs around West and Mid-Cornwall.
Conveniently on Carwinion Road, the club has loads of parking for members. It has two 3-rink greens, open from mid-April to the end of September. They even have disabled access on both greens, so everyone’s welcome.
For those who prefer indoor bowling, the club has carpet bowling sessions on Tuesday afternoons and joins the Falmouth & Camborne Carpet Bowls league. There's always something going on.
Dave isn’t just focused on the current members. He’s looking ahead too, getting kids from Mawnan Smith Junior School into the game and prepping them for the Cornwall Schools Competition.
With such a rich history and a welcoming vibe, Mawnan Bowling Club is a standout in Falmouth. Whether you're there to compete or just to have a good time, it’s the perfect place to enjoy bowling and make some new mates.
