​

Thank you for visiting the Port Sunlight Village and Works Bowling Club website.

​

Who are we

​

We are a friendly group of men and women of various ages from all types of back grounds united in our love of the sport of Crown Green Bowling.

​

We have over fifty members but we very much welcome new members, of any age or gender, whether they be experienced players or complete beginners.

​

Our philosophy as a club is that we want to be as competitive as we can possibly be but our main aim is to enjoy bowling and each others company.  

 

Where do we play

​

We are based in Port Sunlight Village, on Bolton Road, and play our bowls on a green which in our opinion, has one of the best settings on the Wirral. Many of our members are within walking distance of the green, for those that are not we are within a 3 minute walk of Port Sunlight Rail Station and there is ample street parking for those that travel by car.

​

What standard do we play at

​

For those players that wish to compete at league level we have two teams in the Bebington and District evening league, two teams in the Birkenhead and Wirral evening league and two teams in the veterans afternoon league. The evening leagues are open to all but the afternoon league is presently only open to bowlers of 55 years or older.

​

Whilst a lot of activity is centred around the league teams we do set aside time for members to practice, take part in social bowling and partake in introductory sessions.

​

What facilities do we have

​

Just off the green we have access to kitchen facilities for tea and coffee making, access to toilet facilities and we are less than a long bowl away from the Lyceum which offers beer and wine during and after the bowls session.

​

When do we play

​

The green is open from the beginning of April until the end of September.

Most weeks during the season there is league bowling on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Wednesday or Friday afternoons.

​

Social bowling and practice sessions happen on Wednesday and Sunday evenings additionally some social bowling is played on weekday afternoons when Port Sunlight Ladies, with whom we share the green and facilities, are not playing.

​

What do we offer new bowlers

​

The sport and our club are keen to attract new members, during our social bowling sessions on Wednesday and Sunday evenings we welcome anybody that has not played before and offer an opportunity to take part in free introductory sessions to learn the basics of Crown Green Bowls. Players can then choose to become members of Port Sunlight V&W, any other club or none at all.

​

What equipment is needed

If you are a new bowler taking part in our introductory sessions all you will need is flat soled footwear and clothing suitable for outdoor activity we will provide the bowling equipment.

​

If you want to continue bowling after your introductory sessions the club has several sets of bowls that can be bought at a reasonable cost.

​

What does it cost

​

Membership of the club is £25 per year, players who play for the club in league matches pay £2 per game but they also need to be a member of the British Crown Green Bowls Association which costs a one off fee of £15.

​
