Welcome to Heversham Bowling Club. A place to make and meet friends.
A Welcome from the Chair of our Club.
Welcome to the Website of Heversham Bowling Club.
The club is relatively new in Bowling terms, having been established for 23 years in Leasgill, Heversham. It’s been described as ‘ A very friendly club’, ‘ A great asset to the community ‘, and a place ‘ To learn a new skill’
We welcome experienced bowlers and those who have never set foot on a Crown Green. It’s never too late, or early, to start.
We are a competitive club with teams across several leagues throughout Kendal and South Lakes. Of course, competition is important – who does not like to win; however we are a friendly club, making anyone welcome who wishes to come along and give our game a go – young or old.
Socially, we are an active club, with activities off the green, raising funds through a variety of events.
The green is open from mid-March until October.
Please look through our website, and if you like what you see, then feel free to contact our Club Chair, Robin Wharfe on 07582 290108 or Club Secretary, Tom Grindey on 07385999387.

Blue Bell Trophy 2025
On Sunday 8th June, which should have felt like a summer’s day but which felt more like late autumn, fourteen members took part in the annual competition for the Blue Bell Trophy. The semi-finalists were Louise Tomlinson v. Mike Warwick, and Martin Tomlinson v. John Smith. Louise and Martin went through to the final, making it a husband and wife contest. Despite threats of having no dinner that evening, or worse still having his dinner poured over him, Martin went on to win the Blue Bell Trophy for the third year in succession. Many thanks to our Club Captain, Vera Alderson, on the smooth running of the competition.
Below on the left you can see the semi-finalists Louise and Mike, and on the right are John and Martin.
On the left below are Martin and Louise, still trying to look as if they’re friends, and on the right is Louise receiving the prize as runner-up from Club Captain Vera Alderson.
Congratulations to Martin on winning the Trophy for the third year in succession.

Come and Try Day
On Sunday 18th May, the club held it’s Come and Try Day as part of our Social Bowling afternoon.
18 club members enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoons bowling and were joined by 4 potential new bowlers.
Club coach, Colin James, took them under his experienced guidance, showing them the basic skills of our game, and taking them onto the green to put their early knowledge into practice.
After some interesting ends, producing varying degrees of success, it was time for a well deserved drink and, of course, a piece of cake.
The day was enjoyed by those who joined us, and here’s hoping we may get some new members to join our club.

‘Coronation’ Round Robin
Alison, Captain of our Kendal B Team writes:-
The second round robin of the season, to celebrate the Coronation, was well supported by 14 members – 7 men and 7 women. Thanks to Joyce who came to score. It was nice to see Mavis, Tom, and Steve playing.
There were some close matches, each couple playing 6 matches of 6 ends.
Two couples, Hilary and Ian, Susan and Colin ended the afternoon on 10 points each. Susan and Colin took home the spoils by winning the aggregate 27 to 23.
John and Mavis went home with the booby prize.
Once again thanks to John for organising the afternoon. And we finished on time!
