Today, membership stands at around 100 men and women bowlers who are part of a fully integrated club, which is reflected in the composition of the club’s committee.
The club pavilion is used to host a number of social events during the year including weekly duplicate bridge, bridge lessons and occasional quiz, bingo and fun evenings. There is also a licensed bar.
The club utilises a gated car park adjacent to the pavilion, access to which is gained from Queensway.
Commencing April 2023, membership fees are £130.00. Social membership is also available at £10.00.
