Hexham (Elvaston) Bowling Club
Welcome!
Welcome to the website of
Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club
in Northumberland.
August is slipping by and soon it will be September with the end of the season sharply in focus. So now is the time to get out on the green, arrange a friendly roll-up with a few other members, and even bring up a bottle of chilled white to enjoy afterwards in the peaceful surroundings of our wonderful club. Enjoy!
We were blessed with a warm, sunny but thankfully not hot day for our President's Day. Forty-eight members took part in a playing format that provided variety for all team members who rotated their positions each match as well as gave brain gym for team leaders making sure team members knew how many bowls they needed and their positions! All great fun and for a good cause, Cancer Research UK. Thank you to all participants and those who enabled the day. We also had several new members and guests present who were warmly welcomed. Lots of photos were taken, please scroll through them below.

Five men's triples to celebrate the 120th anniversary of our first club friendly match against Lyndhurst. This day they will be coming in cars: how did they travel to us in 1906? We suspect it was by steam train and a walk from the station. Please sign up for this historic match.

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.
