Millwood Bowling Club, located in the charming town of Barry in the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan, was established in 1990. With a well-maintained green, a licenced clubhouse, and a conveniently adjacent public car park, the club offers excellent facilities to its members and visitors. Every year, the club continues to enhance its already impressive amenities, constantly striving to provide an exceptional experience for its members.
As a private greens bowling club, Millwood Bowling Club assumed complete control of its operations and maintenance from the Vale of Glamorgan Council in 2020. This transition enables the club to participate in a broader array of leagues, including the private greens league, in addition to the traditional municipal leagues. The club embraces a combined approach, rather than having separate men's and ladies' sections, promoting inclusivity and unity among its members.
Millwood Bowling Club is proudly affiliated with prestigious organisations such as the Welsh Bowling Association, the South Vale District Bowling Association, the Vale of Glamorgan County Bowling Association, and the Welsh Women's Bowling Association. These affiliations not only provide the club with valuable resources and guidance but also allow its members to participate in various competitive events and championships.
Membership at Millwood Bowling Club is open year-round and welcomes both players and social members. Lawn bowls is a strategic and low-impact game suitable for individuals of all ages and abilities. It doesn't require high jumping or swift running, making it an accessible sport for everyone. The club participates in external leagues that feature men's, ladies', and mixed teams, while its internal team league is mixed.
Matches are scheduled on different days of the week from April to September, with afternoon and evening leagues.
The club's men's teams compete in the highly regarded East Wales Private Greens League and field two competitive teams every Saturday throughout the season. The ladies' teams engage in structured leagues in Glamorgan and the surrounding area, primarily playing on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. On Wednesday evenings, the club takes part in the Munro Cup competition, with the choice of entering mixed teams or only men's teams left to the discretion of individual clubs.
Apart from its excellent bowling facilities, Millwood Bowling Club offers numerous advantages for its members and guests. These include a spacious public car park, convenient road access, a serene setting in well-maintained grounds, a licenced clubhouse, a large kitchen, ample space for social gatherings, and a bar equipped with a large-screen TV. The club also boasts an exciting social calendar, regularly hosting entertaining events that cater to both members and non-members.
The club extends a warm and friendly welcome to all visitors, embracing individuals who are new to the sport or looking to join an enthusiastic bowling community. Millwood Bowling Club provides all the necessary equipment to get starters on their bowling journeys and eagerly awaits the opportunity to introduce newcomers to the sport.
Contacting Millwood Bowling Club is simple through email, which is the preferred method outside the season and after office hours, as the phone may not always be answered.
