Both Greens are open and available for play - enjoy

BSCGBC was established in 1896 and since then has been an element in the community life of Bournville. The club has recently move from its location on the Cadbury Recreation Ground on Linden Road overlooking the iconic factory to a new secluded location close by, just off Mary Vale Road. Here we have two crown greens ready for the start of the new season in March 2024. Whilst we have bid a sad farewell to our old much loved location (pictured left) we look forward to an exciting future in our new home.

From May to September the club has league teams playing every day of the week as well as friendly games, social events and lots of internal competitions.

The club has members holding national accreditation in coaching, refereeing and safeguarding, lots of friendly male and female team mates to help newcomers learn this fascinating game, and high standard bowling across its many teams.

Crown green bowling is an excellent way to promote physical and mental health. Experienced bowlers can join one of our 13 teams that play in 7 regional leagues. New bowlers can receive guidance from friendly players, join free coaching sessions led by nationally accredited coaches before joining, if you wish, one of our teams for new players.

The first club competition, the Over 60s Cup had an entry of 13 bowlers. We had 12 of our established members and they were joined by one of our new members, Richard Joy. Richard won his first game, but then lost out in his second round match. Well done and welcome to Richard.

The first semi final saw Ian Letters beat Bryan Bennett and then Frank Bonney was defeated by John Wildman in the other match. So Ian will play John in September's final.

Thank you to everyone who attended and provided food.

Following on from the Over 60s Cup, it's time for the next competition with the Pairs Trophy. This competition is open to ALL club members regardless of age or ability, everyone is welcome.

This is a fun event, where inexperienced or lower ranked bowlers are paired with a more experienced bowler to even up the ability of the pairs.

The first jack will be sent at 13:00 on Sunday 12th May, so please register on the day by 12:45 at the latest. The format will be knockout matches played to 21. This is not a handicap competition.

The two remaining pairs of bowlers will go forward to finals day on Sunday 22nd September, so before entering, please make sure that you are free on finals day.

The decision on which green to use will be made nearer the event, but remember, no prior practice is allowed on either green on the day of the competition.
