Welcome to Heversham Bowling Club. A place to make and meet friends.
Welcome to the Website of Heversham Bowling Club.
Overview
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 Secretary, Tom Grindey on 07385999387 or email tomgrindeybowler@gmail.com

Coronation Round Robin
On Sunday, 3rd May members took part in the Coronation Round Robin.
Due to an equal number of men and ladies, it was drawn as mixed pairs. Members enjoyed refreshments in the club house part way through the afternoon.
Congratulations to the winners Louise Tomlinson & Adrian Tayler, and to the runners up Mavis Anderton & Martin Tomlinson.
Thank you to Joyce, Margaret and George for scoring. Thanks to all those that took part in the competition.
Once again thanks to Colin for organising the afternoon.
In the year 2000 after raising funds from numerous Irish Country Music Concerts, along with other fundraising events and gaining various grants work began at ‘Croft Field’.
After many months of hard work Heversham Bowling Green opened on Bank Holiday Monday, 28th May, 2001, by Sean Cully.
Over the years the club applied to join the Kendal District Bowling League, South Westmorland Seniors Bowling League and the South Lakeland Rural League. We now run five teams across these leagues. Alongside this we hold five in house Competitions, monthly Round Robins and since 2024 an Open Mixed Pairs Competition. The social afternoons on Wednesdays and Sundays have always and continue to be popular with members. Our fundraising events have proved to be very successful and well supported throughout the community.
Heversham Bowling Club would not be possible without the hard work, commitment and support over the years from the Committee, members and friends past and present. A huge thank you to you all. A special mention must go to John Smith, Margaret Nelson and Jean Handley who were the driving force behind the foundation of the club.
Here’s to the next 25 years!
Tom Grindey, HBC Secretary
