Welcome to the Website for Clock House (Upminster) Bowling Club


Picture

The Club welcomes  new members, either existing bowlers or beginners. Our green is situated in Clockhouse Gardens, St Marys Lane, Upminster, close to Waitrose, in delightful surroundings. We play in competitive leagues for both men and ladies. There are also friendly matches with other local Clubs and, if you so wish, just some social bowling. We are a friendly social Club and run several social events throughout the year.

Face Coverings
​

The Government have extended the range of indoor venues where face coverings must be worn, effective from  Saturday8th August.
In addition to shops and public transport, the requirement will also apply to virtually all indoor public spaces unless it's a restaurant or drinking establishment (where there are other stringent requirements).
​So, if you wish to enter the Clubhouse to collect your bowls or for any other reason, you must wear a face covering.

​
We have purchased a small number of disposable face coverings at a cost of
£3 each, which will be available to buy at cost price, for anyone who forgets to bring a face covering with them.

​Saturday 30th May 2020 - Resumption of Bowling

On Saturday morning the first bowls of the season were delivered. With restrictions and Government guidelines adhered to 3 rinks have been allocated for  roll ups. Full details available on the "Bookings" page.
Despite the unusual circumstances of social distancing etc. it was most enjoyable to be back on the green, helped by the beautiful weather.
Many thanks to so many Club members who have worked hard so that we can all enjoy our bowls in the forthcoming months.

BBC Gardeners World

On Sunday morning 8th March, 20 members of the Club very kindly came along for the first of this years Best Bowls Club gardening sessions. A great turnout.
Ditch clearing, green spiking, planting about 60 plants, yes 60, bench sanding, clubhouse roof and gutter cleaning and a general clean up of grounds. Something for everyone.
Sausages and bread pud plus tea and coffee was supplied and eagerly consumed. All done in a great atmosphere of team work. Thanks to everyone who came along.
Due to popular demand and to allow those who were disappointed at not being able to attend, we will be holding a second session on Sunday 29th March at 10am.
