The charge is the Leisure Centre’s and is for about an hour and a half’s play. We play bowls on a full-length green indoors. Indoor Bowling is essentially suitable for those who have experience of bowling outdoors during the summer season. It is not easy to teach beginners as the group activity would be disrupted. If members wish to bowl indoors during the winter, they should join the Crown Green Bowling group in the summer (see above).

We are a group of mature cyclists. We do not try to do big mileages. We cater for all. Some have been cycling for years, whilst others may be entirely new to the game. We do not leave anyone behind and have frequent stops for a breather or to admire the view. During the summer we have done several off-road routes but as the trails become muddy we are attempting quiet roads. It is necessary to call the organiser by 6pm the night before a ride to say whether or not you will attend the following days ride. We do not ride if the weather is against us eg rain, thick fog, snow. We are limiting our number to 16.
