COME AND VISIT US - Try bowls, refreshments, etc, every THURSDAY evening after 6:00 pm


YOUR LOCAL CLUB – Just off the A414 behind the TALBOT

This month our chairman says "Welcome to our website. If you live in West Essex you'll be glad you've found us. We're a small friendly club offering access to outdoor bowls, indoor short mat bowls and other activities like table tennis, bridge and social events. We're always looking for new members and our subscriptions are the lowest in the area. We'd especially like to hear from bowlers or anyone wishing to take up bowls. Every Thursday evening is club night, we start about 6:00 p.m., if you are interested in joining or trying bowls that's the best time to come along.  During the winter season we play short-mat bowls indoors, after 5th September come along any Monday evening from 7.00 pm. For either just come along in a pair of flat shoes and introduce yourself to a member. We'll make you feel really welcome and let you try putting up a wood or two. We'll also tell you about all the other things Bantham & Ongar Bowls Club has to offer.
We were recently visited informally by our local MP Sir Eric Pickles, to find out how much he enjoyed himself and our hospitality click on our new 'Sir Eric' page. He has promised to try to return next spring to attend one of our New Bowls Green launch days. To find out more about our proposed new playing surface and our lottery grant success click here to see a copy of our newsletter.
Thanks for your interest and feel free to explore the website further.
Also starting this spring will be our Play Bowls 4 Fun programme  sessions. A four session, once a week course offering a fun, informal and relaxed introduction to the sport of Bowls. The course is ideal for beginners and those wishing to try a new sport, it is open to all.

Bowls will always be our raison d'être but if not sports minded, how about the social side.
Regular activities include 
  • Whist nights on alternate Friday evenings (7.15 pm).
  • Thursday mornings we have a Cribbage Club
  • If you are a Bridge enthusiast at any level then we'd be glad to see you at our Wednesday morning sessions starting at 9:45 and finishing around 1:00 p.m.
  •  Table Tennis club  on Thursday evenings from September

  • Short Mat Bowls – Monday evenings from 7:00

  • Yoga – Friday – 12:00 to 1:15pm and Saturday 9.00 - 11.30


Look out also for our other popular events like our Bingo, Quiz and Race Nights.
