The Joy of.. ..Bowling!
Ah, the Spring! Season of promise and joy to come! When at last the good gentlefolk of Alresford, venturing out after the enforced Covid hibernation, can enjoy their first game of….. Bowls!

What – is there a Bowling Green in Alresford?? Yes – didn’t you know, just a short stroll up Sun Lane, and there on the right, looking like the front lawn of a stately home, is a magnificent 4 rink bowling green and clubhouse, peopled by knowledgeable and friendly locals eager to guide you gently into the wonderful world of Lawn Bowls!
What pastime can compete with an afternoon of friendly competition, out there enjoying fresh air and sunshine, while trying your skill at rolling a large ball in an attempt to reach and touch a distant smaller one – what could be simpler? Yet you will find it is not so easy, with the vagaries of what appears at first glance to be a perfectly flat green, and the tendency of the bowl to turn in a gentle curve as it slows, the ‘bias’ causing a frustratingly unpredictable change in the direction just when you thought you had the measure of it! Never mind, Alresford Bowling Club will offer guidance, free use of club bowls, and friendly advice as you learn to master this most gentle of outdoor sports. At least three free visits are available to newcomers of all ages, our only request being that you wear flat-soled shoes, with no heel which could damage the green.
Please see our advert below for our times of play.
We look forward to welcoming you to the glorious, sunny, exciting world of outdoor bowling! Come on – give it a try – make new friends, learn a new skill, exercise both your arm and your little grey cells!
Contact secretary Barry Morgan on 01962 733477, or alresfordbowls@gmail.com, and start your next adventure!
Alresford Bowling Club
We are a friendly bowling club, situated in Sun Lane, close to the centre of Alresford. During the bowling season (roughly mid-April to September) we play many friendly matches against local clubs, have a number of internal competitions and knock-out tournaments, and regular roll-up sessions.
Roll-ups are opportunities to meet, play and socialise with other members, and take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 10.00am to 12.00 noon, and Thursday evenings 6.00pm to 8.00pm (with a social element). Visitors are welcome at roll-ups, and at other times when accompanied by a Member. 2021 is a good year to join the Club, as we have a one-year-only half-price membership offer of £40 for Playing members (£10 for Social Members).
Lawn bowls is a great game, not just for the retired but for adults of all ages; and we can provide bowls for you to have a go. Further information from Barry Morgan (Club Secretary) 01962 733477; and on the club website.
