Who we are

The Great Shelford Bowling Club was founded in 1920. 

Our current membership consists of 32 men and women of mixed ability from beginners to County players.

We can be found on the Recreation Ground on Woolards Lane, behind the Tennis Club. Car parking is available in the Memorial Hall car park.

The Ladies Section of the Bowls Club was formed in 1973 and ran separately from the Men's Section with their own commitee and A.G.M.

It was not until 1990 that both sections of the Club combined to form the mixed club that we have today.

The original Pavilion was found to be too small and in 1979  was extended and a verandah added by our members.

The new Pavilion was officially opened the following year, our 60th anniversarry.

The club has a busy fixture programme with  matches most weeks from May to September.

We play in three leagues, The Melbourn and District, the Cambridge and District and the Foxton League.

Club competitions take place throughout the season with the Finals Weekend in early September.

Friday or Thursday evenings when there a no matches being played are club nights when we have roll ups and anyone can come along, meet the members and have a go.
