The club provides crown green bowling facilities for anyone who wishes to play.
The club provides crown green bowling facilities for anyone who wishes to play.
They welcome all ages and abilities and provide social or competitive games throughout the season (April - October), with taster sessions each Saturday during the season for anyone wishing to try out the sport and several social events throughout the year.
Their clubhouse is small and cannot accommodate more than the home team in inclement weather conditions. So they had a gazebo for visiting teams accommodation but, unfortunately, in the gale force winds in the autumn of 2023, the gazebo was damaged beyond repair. They came to us for a grant as they wanted to build a more substantial timber framed structure that wouldn't blow away. As well as providing accommodation for visiting teams, the new structure would be used for club events and an annual community event with other sporting clubs in Milnthorpe. We were happy to provide a grant for the metal frame joints and the shelter project is now coming together as the members pitch in and build it themselves.
