About Harpenden Bowling Club
Harpenden Bowling Club is justly proud of its successes in district, county and national competitions; a competitive bowler of any age will find plenty of opportunity to take part in exciting games and to represent Harpenden across the region. Indeed, the club includes an under 25 county champion and players who successfully represent Hertfordshire at a national level.
However, its the club's focus on ensuring that players of all abilities and ages, including those completely new to the sport, are as welcome and as important members of the club as the more experienced bowlers, that has ensured the club has thrived throughout its hundred year history and is still going strong today.
It is the perfect place to meet new friends in Harpenden. The extensive social side of the club, from breakfasts, coffee mornings and afternoon tea to dinners, festive celebrations and the now legendary hog roasts, is an essential part of the club's success and is enjoyed by both playing and non-playing social members.
For many, being able to arrange a casual game with friends - and members who quickly become friends- followed by a drink at the clubhouse bar afterwards, is the best thing about the club.
The club is open throughout the year, with short mat bowling and a bridge club in the winter months.
If you are new to bowling and wish to give it a go, full coaching is available before you decide to join. The club runs various different competitions, ensuring that everyone gets to compete at a level at which they are comfortable.
