Etwall Bowls Club

Etwall Derbyshire Members: ...

Welcome to Etwall Bowls Club. Located in the pretty South Derbyshire village of Etwall, it features one of the finest greens in the county and provides excellent bowls and social facilities. The club was founded in 1965, and now runs numerous mens, ladies and mixed teams, playing in the Derby, Burton and Belper Leagues.

The green opens early April and during the season matches are played most afternoons Monday to Saturday and each evening Monday to Friday. In total we play around 300 league matches until the season ends in September. We're a friendly club, and are always delighted to welcome new members, of all ages.

The club runs numerous men, women and mixed teams in several leagues catering for all standards from beginner to experienced.
