We consist of two clubs, men and ladies, both of which belong to The Association of Portishead Bowling Clubs. The Association runs and manages our beautiful site adjacent to the Lake Grounds in Portishead.
This site has two bowling greens each with its own recreation and changing facilities.
Club sessions take place every Monday throughout the bowls season starting at 10.00am. Old and new members participate in these on a regular basis and we are always assured of a good turnout.
Prospective new members or anyone interested in taking up Bowls will be welcome at these sessions and coaching is available for everyone interested in taking up the sport. If you think this might be you, please contact us to arrange a taster session.
2025 Charities
Every year we support a charity from our events, raffles and, for the Men, various fines for indiscretions such as "wrong bias" and "wrong trousers".
For the 2025 season the nominated charity for both Clubs is the same.
President Pam Taylor and Captain Julie Swift for the Ladies, and Captain Bob Swift for the Men, have
chosen to support Children’s Hospice South West.
For more than 30 years Children's Hospice South West has been caring for babies, children
and young people with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions by providing hospice care and
professional family support services.
"The word charity only describes how this place is funded – not what it does. It is the primary service for ALL parents and carers of children with short lives. It is the helping hand for the worn out dad who lifts their child to bed every night, the entertainment committee for the siblings who never get a holiday, the steady voice on the phone for the weary mum with too many choices to make, the medical advice for your kids unique needs, and the ongoing hug for the grieving parent."
Facilities
Our facilities are operated by the Association of Portishead Bowling Clubs with the purpose of enabling four local Portishead clubs to bowl in harmony on excellent greens and with a welcoming atmosphere. The main club house contains a bar and lounge with dining facility.
There are two 6 rink bowling greens both in very pleasant and enclosed surroundings with views to the Welsh coast.
The greens are maintained to a high standard providing an excellent bowling surface throughout the season.
We are pleased to welcome a number of touring sides throughout the season, and without exception, our visitors are very complimentary about the facilities we are able to share with them.
Disabled access and toilets are available for those requiring them.
Club mornings are held 10am to 12.30pm every Monday throughout the season and anyone interested in playing is welcome to come along.
