Welcome

On behalf of the committee, our members and myself, we give a very warm welcome to our website.

The Club

The club was formed in 1928 and last year we celebrated our 80th anniversary.

Prittlewell Bowls is a mixed club and welcomes both men and women to what we consider to be some of the best facilities in the borough, if not the county.

The club has undergone many changes and, I believe, none more dramatic than those of the past few years. Our development plan has enabled the club to move forward in various ways:

* Our membership has risen to nearly one hundred members - a 56% rise since 2004.

* In 2006 we welcomed ladies and now have over 30 lady members.

* The re-organisation of our club has seen the introduction of a Social and Welfare Committee.

* We consulted our membership as to clothing and image, and there was an overwhelming

  response to change the old dress code and introduce a new modern playing strip.

We can offer relaxed social bowls to the inexperienced or non-competitive members,

or competitive leagues and cup competitions to the more experienced and dedicated bowler.

Our clubhouse has a good social side, and during the winter months we have 2 excellent short mats for indoor bowling as well as table tennis, whist drives and social occasions.

In recognition of our promotion of the game of bowls and overcoming many obstacles in recent years, we were awarded the Runners-Up English Bowls Association - Drakes Pride Club of the Year 2007.

To mark this achievement and our 80th anniversary, we hosted The Friends of English Bowling on 4th August 2008 and welcomed players from all over England.

Please take a few minutes to browse through our website to see what we have to offer.

And, if you are looking for a friendly, healthy, relaxing or competitive form of exercise,

look no further - come and join the Prittlewell Bowls Club - you will be very welcome.
