One member to be new to indoor bowling (last 2 years) and substitutions at half time.  Fun team names mandatory. This is very much a Friday night social league!

New! Alternatively for Friday Nights – if preferred there is a proposal to run an Ultimate Bowls League on Friday nights – see board for more details

New! Wednesday 2.30pm – Aussie Pairs (Half Season) League – open to all and created due to popular demand for this bowls format. Sign Up now if interested – to start midSeptember for 14 weeks and then restarts after Christmas for 14 more weeks so allowing you to play for half a season only if you so wish

New! Tuesday and Thursday Restricted Open 4.30pm Teatime Leagues – each team / partnership to have no more than one Top Team / Egham / Denny player. A league for players or all ages or experience.

SUMMER LEAGUES

Friday 10.30am Aussie Pairs League – winner of the league was Garry Jordan.  Well done Garry!

A list of all current winter leagues plus other playing opportunities can be found on the Bowling Opportunities page.

SOCIAL BOWLING

Over Winter bowls drives will run on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12.30pm plus Saturday Mornings 9,30am.  The Monday session is an accumulator league so you are matched with new partners and opponents whenever you play and scores accumulate with the top 20 counting (so no need to play every week). Winner receives the Joan & Neville Hardy Trophy.
