Richmond Park Bowls Club
Well, what a climax to the outdoor bowls season! Our BETBA Div 3 team stole the top spot from Ferndown by beating them at their own ground in the final fixture! Meanwhile our Saturday Triples team played consistently in the second half of the season to climb to a creditable mid-table position. However, our Saturday Premier team went into the final match weekend 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table but pulled off a stunning whitewash of Poole Park, in torrential weather conditions, to jump to safety by 1 rink! Hopefully, we won't leave it so late next season!
If you ask our members why they joined Richmond Park Bowls Club, most of them would say it was because of the warm and friendly welcome they received when they first walked through the door.
We’re a diverse bunch and there are no cliques or club politics - we all get on well and love the game of bowls.
We have a professionally-maintained bowling green and it’s easy to get to from all parts of Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. As a member you’re entitled to use it as often as you like throughout the bowling season (April - September).
Our spacious clubhouse has a fully licensed bar where drinks and snacks are available after every game and during social events. We also have a widescreen tv showing Sky Sports and a pool table, plus free wi-fi - all courtesy of Winton Cricket Club who share the clubhouse with us.
There’s a hugely popular Quiz Night on the last Friday of every month, and during the off season there are various indoor activities to get involved in, including short mat bowls, darts and card games.
We play Bournemouth and District League matches against competing clubs on Saturday mornings and afternoons and on Tuesday evenings. Take a look at the Results and League Tables to see how we've done in previous seasons.
Each year there are various club competitions you can enter to test yourself against the other club members, and there’s also the chance to play friendlies with touring clubs that visit us from time to time during the season.
*Any touring clubs that would like to include Richmond Park on their trip please get in touch.
If you’re a new bowler who wants to learn the game, or a more experienced player who wants to move clubs and you’re keen to know more about playing for us, contact us now - or if you’re ready to join, download a membership form - we look forward to welcoming you to our club.
