ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PRICES REDUCED !!!
We are all aware of the current cost of living pressures on everyone. In an effort to try and help in some way the club have decided to REDUCE the cost of basic membership for 2023 to £75 (a 25% reduction).
Members wishing to participate in the club competitions will then be asked to pay an additional fee.

NEW - LANCASHIRE INTER CLUB LEAGUE
This is a new and exciting addition to our club calendar. On 4 Friday evenings in May with a 7pm start we will play against our friends at both Bolton and Heaton Hall (Manchester). Each match evening will involve games being played at all 3 venues and therefore gives our members the opportunity to go play on some different greens against some different opponents.
Fore each game, each club will provide a team of 4 Men’s Triples and 4 Ladies Pairs
2 Triples and 2 Pairs play at Home and one Triple and one Pair play away at each of the other Clubs.

IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
Manchester City Council has recently agreed to undertake a professional feasibility study in early 2023 to determine demand for, and viability of, a new purpose built, international standard, indoor bowls complex in the Greater Manchester area.
There is no certainty that the project will happen, but a page has been created to enable the North West bowls community to show support for it.
If you think it is a good idea, and would be interested in joining if the facility was established, please take a minute to answer the short questions via this link attached.
Please also help spread the word by sharing this page/survey to as many fellow bowlers (flat and crown) as possible across the North West and encourage them to complete the short survey.

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
We are a friendly club and encourage new bowlers to come and give the game a try. Bowls is a sociable game, a healthy outdoor sport and above all it’s for ALL ages
So, if you are young or not so young, experienced or a beginner, and you would like to give it a try, do come down to our Club just off the Promenade in Kings Gardens, and you will be made very welcome.
Southport Bowling Club offers:-
- Free coaching by qualified instructors
- The loan of equipment, avoiding the need to incur any expense until you are sure the game is for you
Southport Bowling Club is the only Flat Green Bowling Club in the Southport and Liverpool area. Established in 1937 our two bowling greens are located at the south end of the Marine Lake in Kings Gardens just off the Promenade. There is a large clubroom with adjacent changing and locker facilities.
We have a reputation for being a very friendly sociable club and new members are made very welcome. For the new bowler we offer free taster sessions and free coaching plus the loan of suitably sized bowls. The only proviso, you must wear footwear with smooth soles and no heels.
Our playing season begins in April and runs through the summer months to the middle of September. Club roll ups are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. These games are a relaxed and easy way to learn, improve and play bowls.
Social Bowling may also take place at weekends and in the week when the greens are available and not in use for organised competitions.
For those players wishing to play in a more competitive arena the club enters teams, and individual players enter both National and County competitions. Various Club Leagues run on weekdays for members to enjoy a competitive game in addition to Club Competitions. A number of social events take place throughout the year, Bowl and Dine, Quiz nights, and Bingo. Special themed events take place throughout the summer and also the winter months
We open our second Green to members of the public, with a Green Fee payable.
