​We play shortmat bowls all year round. 

​Our main season runs from October to April ​when we have 3 mats available. Every Monday and Friday afternoon we have club roll ups from 1.30pm

All players enter a draw for the teams they play in and the position they play. We have 4 games of 5 or 6 ends and re-draw for each game. This encourages a friendly atmosphere where all players get to know each other better by rotating the members they play with. We break after 2 games for refreshments.

We have 3 mats available on Wednesday afternoons and run a club competition called the Friendship Trophy. Again we have 4 games and draw for teams for each game. Each team decides amongst themselves on the position each person plays. This is run for the whole season and although it is competitive is run on a very social basis.

We also enter teams in various one day competitions. Some of our members arrange holidays for groups of our bowlers. In January a group of us had a 5 day break at Warners in Cricket St Thomasl.

​In addition to this we have a friendly game against other clubs most weeks and have 2 teams that play in the South East Essex Short Mat Bowling Association Leagues. One in division 2 and one in division 7.

We continue through the summer but with roll ups on Monday Wednesday and Friday but only have 2 mats available. We still try to play  friendly games on a weekly basis.
