MERTON BOWLING CLUB
Your Local Bowling Club
We are a mixed lawn bowls club and invite men and lady players of all abilities, including beginners, to come and join our friendly club. Bowls in Merton is well established and Merton Bowling Club is the oldest club, founded in 1909. Our season runs from the end of April until the beginning of October. Merton Bowling Club also has an active link with Joseph Hood Primary School to provide coaching and support for the annual primary schools' championship. This provides young students with an insight into a sport where age has no limitation and helps promote cross-generation contact.
