Pavilion

We are a well established, friendly lawn bowls club in South Oxhey, formed in 1974 by local residents, with our golden anniversary next year. Our aim is to provide an activity and facility for members of the local community to enjoy, from 12 years old and upwards.

Our playing season is mid-April to late September, with bowlers benefitting from the social and fitness aspect of the game and chance to meet and make new friends. We play friendly matches against other clubs in Hertfordshire, internal club competitions, and ‘roll ups’ (friendly and informal bowls games), which are on Monday and Friday evenings, weather permitting. We have a program of social events during the summer, including fun days and barbeques and indoor activities such as Knit & Natter, which takes place on Thursday afternoons. During the winter months the game of carpet bowls, (a miniature version of lawn bowls) is played indoors, along with quizzes, darts and bingo nights.

At the end of the bowling year, we celebrate our bowlers’ achievements in their internal club competitions with a dinner and dance evening. We have a licensed bar and other refreshments are available. We are always happy to welcome new members, from complete beginners to those who have played before. With no entry fee and a modest subscription, few other sports can match bowls in providing so much playing time and social activity for so little outlay.
