Epping Bowls Club’s 2020 season has been affected by restrictions because of the corona virus. All plans were put on hold until June when we opened for members following guidance from Bowls England. Our clubhouse is also open, also subject to guidance, so we are pleased to have bowls being played again at the club. We are currently playing several internal competitions as well as friendly roll ups and have already attracted some new members this season.

We are keen to attract more new members for this season which closes September 2020. Play is available most days and a booking system via our Club Secretary Anne Munro.

In recent years the club has enjoyed a range of varied events, competitions and a partnership with our neighbours Epping St Johns School. Students have enjoyed ‘come & try’ days and last season we celebrated our President Peter Bates’ pearl anniversary and 30 years as a member of the club.

Epping bowls club has been in existence since 1911. There are both Ladies and Gents sections and when we are free of current restrictions, lots of mixed friendlies throughout the season.

The club can be a base for beginners, social members and for those who wish to play in more competitive competitions within the county.

Club members are encouraged to play in some of the in-house club competitions with the silverware being presented at our annual dinner leading up to Christmas.

There are also several social nights to attend throughout the outdoor season. The club has a reputation for being a warm and welcoming group and we are especially proud of this.

Bowls is a social game but like all sports, can have its competitive edge. If you are a beginner, you can take advantage of our coaching sessions and as you progress, you will be exposed to more competitive matches.

Whatever the result, you can debate it at length while using our bar and canteen facilities.

There are sets of bowls for you to use until you make your mind up which type suits you best. We have an inexpensive dress code which is relaxed after 17:00 for casual roll ups if there is no other official match in progress.

The club is run and managed by the committee made up from its members. Everyone though has a part to play in keeping the grounds playable and maintaining the facilities.
