Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club
Welcome!
Welcome to the website of
Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club
in Northumberland.
There is a real feel of positivity about the club as we look forward to league competition starting and have been very encouraged by so many people - at least twenty - joining us for the first of our Bowling Taster days on Saturday April 25th. These are free with no commitment. Except we think you'll like it and want to join the club! With free coaching and lots of encouragement it really is worth a try. Details of how to sign up are on this Home page. And it's not too late to come along.
New member Ian McNaught (left) won the Armstrong Cup, presented by president Barry Dowdeswell on the first Saturday of the new season. He will have to be watched because he also won the bottle of whisky in the traditional Spider competition! Runners-up were Susan Macdonald and last year's winner, Terry Boon. With 38 members on the green it was a fantastic day. Click on the image above for more and to expand photos.

LEAGUE MATCHES & FRIENDLIES Our club competes in each of the three leagues below. Members of all abilities are invited to come in to the clubhouse and look at the sign-up sheets on the notice boards for the league, fixture and date and enter their name on as many sheets as they feel able to commit to. Teams will be selected from the names entered on the sheets. Please don't be disappointed if you are not selected for every match you enter, it's good for as many as possible to have a go.
