Winterton-on-Sea Bowls Club

Winterton on Sea Bowls Club is a small, friendly outdoor bowling club situated on the playing field at the edge of the village on the Somerton Road with easy access and plenty of parking. The green, one of the biggest around, is sheltered from the wind by high hedges and our pavilion. We play from as early in April as the weather permits until late September.

Membership is £35 per annum for an individual, £50 for a couple, with a rink fee of £2.50 per session using a token (bought in advance) or £3 cash on the day.

Visitors (not bought to the club via a current member) are very welcome. To play they will need to pre-arrange a day and time, and be signed in the guest book. The green fee for non members is currently £5. Please contact the club in good time via Email to arrange: wintertonbowls@gmail.com

We have (relatively!) organised Thursday and Saturday afternoon social roll up's when members meet up for a game or two. Dress code is very informal, with most members wearing shorts when its warm enough, although Flat bowls shoes are required at all times on the green.

Members can also bowl any afternoon after 12 p.m. - you just have to make your own arrangements. If you have never bowled before, you are welcome to “come and try” on a roll up day, which are Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Bowls can be provided, and help will given if needed.

Winterton Bowls Club is like many others a self-help club. We rely heavily on members taking on different roles from administrative tasks to club maintenance. Administrative tasks are routine and run right through the year. The green has been improved tremendously over the past 4 years, due to significant expenditure and the incredibly hard work of the green-keeping team. Most maintenance is done by small core team of four or five, but, as with many clubs, a number of tasks like hedge trimming and simple painting and buildings upkeep rely on a turnout of a larger group of members to help. Anyone who is willing to help will be welcomed with open arms!

We are continuing to play in the Federation League on a Tuesday evening (see "League & Teams" at the top of this page for more details).

We hold a number of internal competitions during the summer, and virtually all the club members participate in these. Updates regarding internal club competitions can be found under "More" at the top of this page, then "Club Competitions".
