Past Events

Thank you to the members who came along to ‘Boon Day’ this morning. This all helps to maintain the surrounding areas of the green.

Celebrating HBC Silver Jubilee

On Sunday May 10th, our club celebrated its Silver Jubilee.

The event was very well supported by members, family, friends past and present.

Everyone enjoyed catching up with each other over cakes and refreshments. Many thanks to all that supplied them.

After an afternoon of bowling and chatter, glasses were raised to the last and next 25 years.

The day was a resounding success and everyone enjoyed the camaraderie and banter that reflects on what a friendly and sociable club Heversham is.

Cheers everyone, Martin.

In the year 2000 after raising funds from numerous Irish Country Music Concerts, along with other fundraising events and gaining various grants work began at ‘Croft Field’.

After many months of hard work Heversham Bowling Green opened on Bank Holiday Monday, 28th May, 2001, by Sean Cully.

Over the years the club applied to join the Kendal District Bowling League, South Westmorland Seniors Bowling League and the South Lakeland Rural League. We now run five teams across these leagues. Alongside this we hold five in house Competitions, monthly Round Robins and since 2024 an Open Mixed Pairs Competition. The social afternoons on Wednesdays and Sundays have always and continue to be popular with members. Our fundraising events have proved to be very successful and well supported throughout the community.

Heversham Bowling Club would not be possible without the hard work, commitment and support over the years from the Committee, members and friends past and present. A huge thank you to you all. A special mention must go to John Smith, Margaret Nelson and Jean Handley who were the driving force behind the foundation of the club.

Here’s to the next 25 years!

Tom Grindey, HBC Secretary
