MARLOW BOWLS CLUB Clubhouse 01628 485274

The Green at Marlow


This year sees the retirement of our long standing greenkeeper Bob Coombs and as he stands down from this arduous task, the club would like to express
their thanks for his commitment to the cause over the last decade. 

A new greenkeeper has been appointed and has indeed started work on the green, and now the attention turns to indoors in its various formats. Many Marlow bowlers will transfer indoors to Handy Cross or Desborough but quite a few will remain at Marlow through the winter.

Marlow itself has seen a steady increase of the popular short-mat bowls format that is played in
 the clubhouse and this year the club has been able to get some new mats.
 If you are interested in short mat use the contact details at the bottom of this page.

The newcomers to Marlow have exceeded 35 this year, a brilliant record-breaking effort and testament to what Marlow has to offer and perhaps an indication that outdoor bowls and short mat bowls at Marlow has plenty to offer !

 
If you wish to find out about the County matches you have entered this summer please go to the Links page on this site and click on Bucks Bowls and look for Mens or Womens Competitions. You can also find out the Bucks County League Bowls and Bucks Cup fixtures on the same website.
Marlow is famous for its outdoor bowling season which commences mid-April through the summer until mid-September, and the idyllic setting is a treat for long established and new bowlers alike. Once the summer has passed then the extremely popular short-mat bowling season begins, as the superbly equipped clubhouse becomes haven for a winter session of indoor bowling.

There are several pages available for your perusal and mostly pertaining to bowls of course.
  • The Club Fixtures page gives you a layout of all the club fixtures throughout the 2012 season when they are finalised and when possible a breakdown of the teams selected and directions etc.
  • The Noticeboard gives you notice of various announcements and forthcoming events, with a facility to add your own comment to each event, and is probably the best page to look at on a regular basis, particularly pre-season.
  • The Discussions page is purely for issues to be dissected by club members, with some diplomacy of course.
  • The Photo Album is available for all bowls related pictures and club members are invited to submit any snaps for inclusion. Preferably by email.
  • The Useful Links page provides websites that should be of interest to most of you. Although we cannot vouch for the weather on the weather site too accurately ?
  • The  Forms and Documents page contains several items including Membership Application form, Short Mat Newsletter, and Club Competition form, plus others.
  • FAQs this is a small page where some light hearted snippets in Q&A form can be submitted.
  • Classified Ads page means we can carry adverts from people or businesses and this is currently a free service.
We do hope you enjoy our website and that it provides a good source of information for all current bowling members and for outsiders alike and it may prove the impetus for you to come along and try your hand at this absorbing game in a very pleasant and relaxing environment.
