Home – About
We pride ourselves on being a welcoming club where bowlers of all ability levels will find plenty of opportunities to play casually and in friendly and league matches & competitions.
1925
The club was formed in 1925 and as can be seen in some archival film footage, which was shot in 1927, the club's location was in or around the Memorial Gardens, in the town centre. At the time, it was called The Crawley and District Bowling and Lawn Tennis Club and the Bowls Green and Tennis Courts were adjacent to each other.
1964
In 1964, the Bowls Club moved to its new home in Langley Green and after moving to North Road, Three Bridges, the Tennis Club relocated to Hazelwick Avenue.
2004
In 2004, to celebrate the club's 40 years at Cherry Lane, we played the Chelsea Pensioners and we twice visited the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.
2025
To celebrate our centenary, on Monday 11th August 2025, we will be staging a fun tournament with our friends from clubs within Crawley and its outskirts and we hope that everybody participating will enter into the spirit of the occasion, by dressing in 1920s clothes!
Playing members are eligible to bowl in all matches and competitions. The current fee is £110 per season, which can be paid either as lump sum or by 5 monthly instalments of £20.
There is an additional match fee of £3 for friendly matches to cover refreshments.
Social member are eligible to play in Monday afternoon roll ups and club fun days. The current fee is £25 per season.
Our six rink green is lovingly maintained by an expert groundkeeper, whose hard work has resulted in an excellent playing surface which is a pleasure to play on and regularly receives compliments from visiting players.
The green also benefits from an automatic watering system and fox-proof fencing, which may sound obscure, but was nonetheless the only way we could stop our furry friends from using it for digging practice!
