We plan to hold a meet and greet event at the green from 12 noon on Sunday 7th April for returning members. We also warmly welcome new recruits and have planned the open day for them to meet everyone, receive information on the club, and to try their hand at bowling under the guidance and encouragement of experienced members.
Our official name is ‘Betley and District Village Hall Bowling Club’, you don't have to live in Betley, people from a wide area are welcome to play and become members.
Betley’s green, in its lovely village setting just behind the village hall, was developed as a crown green in the late 1980s as part of the extension to village hall activities that was taking place at the time.
The club is now well established with a wide cross section of members supporting four league teams.
Bowls helps people of all ages to keep fit and healthy, enjoy friendly competition and to have an enjoyable social life. It’s easy to learn. There will always be someone on hand who is able to advise on the basics of the game and how to play, plus from time to time professional coaching sessions are organised.
Subject to pre arranged league matches etc. and maintenance members are able to use the green at any time, whether it’s for individual practise or to play with a group of other members on a social basis. Additionally, there are the following more structured opportunities
