Uniting Sports, Community, and Friendship: Our Club’s Enduring Legacy Since 1952.
Welcome to Glasshoughton Bowling Club, an integral part of the community and a proud member of The Glasshoughton Centre. Established in 1952, our club has been a beacon for decades for sporting activity, social engagement, and camaraderie.
As a long-standing institution in our town, Glasshoughton Bowling Club has been dedicated to providing a fulfilling sporting experience to our members. We offer the opportunity to engage in the beloved sport of bowling while fostering a sense of friendly competition, skill development, and a healthy, active lifestyle.
Beyond the greens, we are more than just a sports club. Glasshoughton Bowling Club serves as a social hub, welcoming not only players but also non-players and spectators alike. We believe in creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere that promotes social interaction, friendship, and community bonding.
Our club plays a vital role in connecting individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for bowls. Whether you’re a seasoned player seeking competitive challenges, a newcomer looking to learn the game, or simply someone who enjoys watching the sport, Glasshoughton Bowling Club offers something for everyone.
Throughout the week, our club is abuzz with activity as members gather for practice sessions and engage in thrilling matches. We welcome you to come down and witness the excitement for yourself, soaking in the atmosphere and discovering the unique charm of crown green bowling. It’s a sport that captivates people of all ages and abilities, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, strategy, and friendly competition.
Bowling is a wonderful activity that promotes an active lifestyle without the need for intense, high-energy exertion. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking to engage in a sport that keeps you physically and mentally active while allowing you to enjoy the leisurely pace and precise techniques of the game.
Whether you’re a complete novice or an experienced bowler, new members are always welcome. If you have never had a go at crown green bowling, want to know more or think this might be a sport you want to get involved with, you’re more than welcome to get in touch, and we can arrange a taster session for you.
When not playing, members enjoy the social side of the sport, and you’ll find some of us enjoying a bevvy or two, sharing stories and having a laugh. At Glasshoughton Bowling Club, it’s not just about bowling; it’s about making long-life friendships.
