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].
