Bournville Sports Crown Green Bowls Club was established in 1896 and since then has been an important element in the community life of Bournville.
The club is located in a secluded site, just off Mary Vale Road. Here we have two different crown greens which players of all standards will find a real pleasure and challenge to play. The large club house (pictured left) is fully featured to support members and visiting teams. The main room has a 'short mat' used for bowling in the winter. It is also used for a number of different social events.
From May to September the club has league teams playing most days 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.
During the winter months the club has short mat activity for social bowling and the Bournvitas team plays in the West Midlands Short Mat Super League.

The next club competition, the Centenary Cup is scheduled to be held on Sunday July 20. Registration will be 12.30 for a prompt start at 13.00. This competition is a little different from the other club competitions as each game is up to 7 shots. So you can imagine it’s short, sharp and fast. We start with group knockout, usually about four people in each group. The top scorer going through to next knockout round. We play the final on the day. A print out of the rules is on the club notice board.
It’s a lovely social event with relaxing bowling, a few laughs and usually some nice food. So look forward to seeing you on July 20th.
The lineup for the Finals Day Sunday September 21 is currently Steve Hyland and Stewart Rennie in the Over 60s Cup, Paul Jones and Adrian Gould against Alan Pearce and Bill Eggington in the Pairs Trophy, Olwen Bird against Liza Fowler in the Memorial Trophy, Paul Jones against Lee Bateman in the Chairs Cup and Jane Adey and Mick Keenan in the Secretary's Shield.
