Welcome to Heversham Bowling Club. A place to make and meet friends.

A Welcome from the Chair of our Club.

Welcome to the Website of Heversham Bowling Club.

The club is relatively new in Bowling terms, having been established for 23 years in Leasgill, Heversham. It’s been described as ‘ A very friendly club’, ‘ A great asset to the community ‘, and a place ‘ To learn a new skill’

We welcome experienced bowlers and those who have never set foot on a Crown Green. It’s never too late, or early, to start.

We are a competitive club with teams across several leagues throughout Kendal and South Lakes. Of course, competition is important – who does not like to win; however we are a friendly club, making anyone welcome who wishes to come along and give our game a go – young or old.

Socially, we are an active club, with activities off the green, raising funds through a variety of events.

The green is open from mid-March until October.

Please look through our website, and if you like what you see, then feel free to contact our Club Chair, Robin Wharfe on 07582 290108 or Club Secretary, Tom Grindey on 07385999387.

CUMBRIA SENIOR MERITS HELD AT HEVERSHAM B. C.

Robin, our Club Chair writes:-

Our club was both pleased and proud to be asked to host one of the Men’s Merits Final on Sunday 27th April. The other Men’s Final was being held at Burneside B. C. and the Women’s at Burneside.

The club provided the facilities to allow many of the area’s top bowlers to compete for a place in the National Finals later in the year. The day began cool and cloudy as the first of the 26 bowlers led off. As expected there was excellent bowling all through the day with established and experienced men including Martin Gilpin, Paul Kissock and Danny Rogers taking part. The Heversham Side of the draw produced a Netherfield player, Martin Gilpin, so the semi finals and final had to be played at our green.

When the players and supporters from Burneside arrived, the competition produced excellent quarter and semi final matches with Gilpin, 15, losing out to Danny Rogers, and Adam Miller, 10, losing to Matty Stewart in the semis.

The stage was set for a potential close final, however, Matty Stewart proved too good for Danny, who had played some great bowls all day, losing 21 – 10.

Well done to both bowlers who progress to the National Final in July.

Heversham Bowling Club was praised for the hospitality and smooth running of the days event, providing scorers, support to the referees with measuring, great food and overall facilities. One of the referees was our very own Charles Ellis.

Overall it was a brilliant day for our club, thank you to everyone who supported in many ways. We should be very proud and comfortable going forward in organising and running more of these events.

First Round Robin of the Year

Robin, our Club, Chair writes:

The first Round Robin of the new season saw 12 Members, 6 ladies and 6 gentlemen, play in 6 pairs, 5 games each. On a bright but colder afternoon than of late, the early leaders were 3 couples on 4 points, so with everything to play for after tea, Margaret and Jim, and Julie and George, got their games together.
With 4 teams sitting on 4 points, it came down to the last 3 games with all teams on the green. The triumphant winning couple were Margaret and Jim with 8 points. Runners up were Julie and George with 6 points and an aggregate of plus 8, just pipping Colin and Louise.
The booby prize went to Vera and Robin

Thanks to John Smith for his smooth running of the competition.’

Below on the left you can see Margaret and Jim receiving their prize for winning, and on the right vera and Robin receiving their booby prize.
