Membership
If you would like to become a member (either playing, or non-playing) of the club, please contact HURST BC [hurstbowling@gmail.com] or Tel: 07917195722.
A yearly subscription of £120 (2024) for Full Membership (allows you to play in all county and club competitions and all inter-club matches), or £5 Non-Playing Member (allows you to use the clubhouse) (Please note that membership fees are subject to change each year). Very modest green fees are charged for playing in friendly matches (£3.50 for 2024), and £1 for each club competition that you enter. There is no green fee for roll-ups for members.
New members are always welcome, and will be well looked after thanks to our "buddy" scheme, and our in-house coaching scheme run by resident coach Kulwant Channa.
No special or expensive equipment is required when you begin - all you need is a pair of flat-soled shoes. The club has a selection of bowls to try, and all other equipment is provided for you. If you take to the game and wish to become more actively involved in the club, we can point you in the right direction to purchase your own bowls, bowling shoes, carrying bag, etc.
All members are encouraged to play friendly matches for the club, whether you're an old hand or a complete beginner, these are an ideal way to improve your game and to meet other bowlers around the county. There are typically three matches a week during the summer months, each one lasts three hours on average, with travelling time (to "away" matches) on top of that.
