HENLOW PARK BOWLS CLUB

Henlow Park Bowls Club was formed in 1930 for the enjoyment of the game of Lawn Bowls.  Henlow village supports a very successful club of all abilities.  It fields both ladies and men’s teams at weekends in friendly matches around the County as well a mixed team event during midweek.  It also fields teams in competitive matches within the County and beyond.  The Club is affiliated to World Bowls Ltd and our current Chairman is a lady who is also an England international player. The year 2007 saw our ladies section being the more successful having 2 of their number selected to play to England, a further one having a trial for England and a team of 4 reaching the quarter finals of the County Championships.

Like all sporting clubs we have our own Club competitions which individuals can enter if they so wish County and International competitions are also available to Club members should they wish to enter them.

 

Many organisations, such as the Civil Service, Police, Prison Service, Fire Brigade, British Legion, London Irish and many others have bowls associations which enable members to add to the variety of venues at which to play.

 

Membership of Henlow Park Bowls Club is available to all; beginners as well as established bowlers.  You can even come along to “have a go” and make up your mind later.  You do not need any special clothing but we do insist upon flat soled (no heel) shoes which helps to protect the grassed surface.

 

Membership brings with it the opportunity to make new friends, be active and get plenty of fresh air. You do not need to athletic to play the game.  We have members with sore hips, plumber’s knee, plaster’s shoulder and accountant’s back of these and other things but none of these annoyances stop them from playing. The game is a relaxing (sometimes), frustrating (sometimes), annoying (sometimes) enjoyable (all times) sport. So come along and enjoy yourself.
