Background
Sir Francis Drake famously finished his game of bowls at his local Plymouth Hoe club before nipping off to defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588. Burpham Bowling Club was established a little later in 1990. It is a mixed club, one of the largest the Guildford area. New members from beginner to experienced are always welcome.
We have our own clubhouse, with licensed bar in Sutherland Memorial Park and free parking. Our green is maintained to a high standard by Guildford Borough Council and our clubhouse has underwent a major refurbishment in 2021..
Our season runs from April to September. We take part in a variety of competitions at regional, county and national levels. We also have an extensive programme of mixed league and friendly matches against other clubs in the area. And there are programmes of men's and ladies' matches.
We also have a programme of internal club competitions every year, and casual club matches (i.e. roll-ups) when members can simply turn up for a friendly game of bowls in the company of other club members both new and old.
Membership is available to playing and non-playing members and we have a very active social programme in the clubhouse throughout the winter months. We have good links with the local community - for more information see the About Us section.
If you'd like to try bowls we can help you to get started and quickly enjoy bowling at Burpham Bowling Club. Free tuition is available to new bowlers from our in-house qualified coaches. You can also join as a non-playing member and enjoy our club's social side.
You are very welcome to browse the website and visit the club. If bowls was a good enough game for Sir Francis Drake.....???
