Update March 2021
Please see the statement from Bowls England on their website.
In short, all National and County competitions are intended to go ahead this year, but with some revision to format and timing.
The club intends to take part in any leagues that go ahead provided that any ongoing restrictions can be complied with.
We intend to organise some internal club leagues to provide some focus for members until the formal leagues begin. I will let you know further details when they are available.
We hope to open the green shortly for casual play, when I have produced a policy document to cover the ongoing restrictions.
Stay healthy, stay fit, and stay safe.

We had a visitor to Pelton Fell recently.
This lady is the daughter of one of our lady members.
She plays bowls at National level.
So don't give me reasons why you cannot play bowls.

Tennis Court Information
The park is run by trustees (not the council).
The bowling club uses the park facilities with the agreement of the trustees. Part of that arrangement is that we take money for the use of the courts.
The trustees should arrange for the park gates to be opened each morning. However you might find that only the car park gate is opened.
The bowling club is usually open each afternoon and evening on weekdays and up to about 5pm on weekends. The bowlers usually lock the park when they finish.
All of this is voluntary and depends on people being willing to be there. As long as access to the park is available the tennis courts are available to use. We do not operate any booking system.
If there is someone at the bowls club we will request payment for the courts. If there is no one at the bowls club, just carry on. Charges are £5 per hour per court for adults and £3 for under 18’s.
