Newport Pagnell Buckinghamshire hotels:

Have you ever thought about playing lawn bowls? If so then why not come along to the green one evening and meet some of the members who enjoy playing this most friendly of games. Unfortunately Bowls has the reputation of being an old man's game because most people take it up after they have given up the more energetic sports. Once they start bowling they all say, "I wish I had started this game earlier in life". However whatever your age you are welcome to come and try it out for yourself because in this day and age more and more young people are participating and enjoying themselves on the bowling green. Newport Pagnell Bowls Club is a thriving and successful 6 rink outdoor bowls club formed in 1905, situated in a beautiful and picturesque setting within Castle Meadow off Tickford Street. The entrance is found just before crossing over the famous "Iron Bridge" on the right, looking towards Newport Pagnell High Street. We are a mixed Club, with over 60 men and 30 ladies each with their own Club Offices. The outdoor season usually runs from the beginning of May to the end of September and we offer both the new and experienced bowler the opportunity to play in a full and entertaining season of Outdoor Bowls. For anyone new to the game, the club has two nationally qualified instructors who will show you the basics of the game and help you develop into an experienced bowler. Please do not worry about equipment as the club has several sets of bowls for newcomers to use. The club has a busy match fixture list operating throughout the entire season, with competitive but friendly matches with other local clubs. We also run a Tuesday afternoon league through the season where members can enjoy a friendly but competitive afternoons play with its own trophies at the end of the season. For the more experienced player the club gives the opportunity to play in National EBA and other affiliated matches together with local league and cup selections. We also have our own internal competitions running throughout the season with singles, pairs, triples, and novice trophies presented at the end of the year.
