Welcome to Shanklin Bowling Club
Shanklin Bowling Club club affiliated to Bowls Isle of
Wight is well established with earliest records from
1907.
The green boasts 8 rinks and the clubhouse has a
large function room along with a fully licensed bar to
make the most of those summer evenings.
Over the years the club has established a
reputation to be proud of, not just on the Island but
with bowlers countrywide.
The club has hosted matches involving the English
Bowling Association, Middleton Cup and County
friendlies and played host to many visiting teams.
During the winter season, the club house is
converted to provide a 17 metre rink.
Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Sunday Leagues,
plus competitions and Fun Nights, provide a bowling
experience for more than 140 Indoor Section
members.
The club has its own off street parking to ensure that
nothing stops play. The club is 1 minute away from
bus links and 5 minutes away from the train station.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
I would like to thank all members for supporting
my charity, Ability Dogs 4 Young People.
You have raised £629.87 this year which I think
is great, considering the restrictions
we have been under.
The charity was thrilled to receive the donation
from the club and I will be placing the certificate
from them on the notice board in the club house.
Once again thank you all
Kay Ward
Shanklin Bowling Club looks forward to start

Throughout the Summer, Autumn, Winter and
Spring, work to maintain the green carries on. The
results of which are evident and can be seen by all.
“NOT A SOLE IN SIGHT “
Thanks must go to our green keeper Bunny, who
continually strives to mprove the condition of the
green. Thanks in no small part must also go to a
small contingent of members, Paul Brownlee,
John Rich, Malcolm Adler-Smith and Pete Watts
who give freely of their time to carry out various
tasks on and around the green, which
compliments our green keepers work an ensures
all members can enjoy a green to be proud of.
There are numerous other members helping by
sweeping the green every day to reduce the risk of
disease.. without these and all other volunteers
your club would find it extremely difficult to
maintainsuch a high level of excellence. So, hats of
to all the volunteers, your help is greatly
appreciated.
The club is now primed and ready to rock and
bowl. We are within touching distance, observe
the rules, don't go and blow it all now.
