At Allestree Bowls Club, our aim is to provide a fun and welcoming environment for bowlers of all ages and skill levels. We strive to promote the sport of Crown Green bowling and help our members improve their game.
Both greens are open from 10.00 a.m. daily until dusk as long as there are no league games, which can take place in the afternoons and evenings. Greens availability will be posted on the noticeboard in the pavilion.
Members are entitled to a gate key to the greens free of charge, a pavilion key is available from the club secretary on request [a small one-off payment is required to cover costs].
Practice bowls, jacks and mats can be borrowed for use from the pavilion.
Non-members can bowl accompanied by a member [nominal cost per session is asked].
Tea/Coffee and biscuits are available from the kitchen area. This also applies to all non-playing persons attending a league match.
These are social competitions held on Sundays during the season and open to all members. They are a fun day starting at 11.00 a.m. and provide an opportunity to get to know more people in the club and for inexperienced players to learn from more experienced players in a relaxed atmosphere.
