You can play bowls any time of the day the club gates are open - usually early each morning and there is a public toilet on site which is accessible until the club house opens.
Apart from match nights, the clubhouse and toilet are closed in the evenings but matches are played most evenings except Fridays.
If you are thinking of joining but don't know anyone at the club, there are usually people around who would like to play - especially in the afternoons. If no-one is available to play then it is a good opportunity to practise.
We currently run 8 teams:
- Men's first team,
- Men's second team
- Womens first team,
- Women's second team,
- Women's (Over 50s) team
- Veterans first team, (over 60's)
- Veterans second team, (over 60's)
- Todmorden league mixed team (over 50's)
- Todmorden night league team
To play in a team you must be registered with the Crown Green Bowling Association. The cost is £10 and is a one-off payment with registration lasting a lifetime.
You may not want to join a team but wish to learn to bowl , meet other bowlers and make friends. We feel our club can meet all members needs so please contact us for further information on 07580 322132
