The new season is upon us. The Far Green and the Near Green are both open for practice. Enjoy your bowling.
BSCGBC was established in 1896 and since then has been an important element in the community life of Bournville. The club is located in a secluded site, just off Mary Vale Road. Here we have two different crown greens which players of all standards will find a real pleasure and challenge to play. The large club house (pictured left) is fully featured to support members and visiting teams. The main room has a 'short mat' used for bowling in the winter. It is also used for a number of different social events.
From May to September the club has league teams playing most days of the week as well as friendly games, social events and lots of internal competitions.
The club has members holding national accreditation in coaching, refereeing and safeguarding, lots of friendly male and female team mates to help newcomers learn this fascinating game, and high standard bowling across its many teams.
Crown green bowling is an excellent way to promote physical and mental health. Experienced bowlers can join one of our 13 teams that play in 7 regional leagues. New bowlers can receive guidance from friendly players, join free coaching sessions led by nationally accredited coaches before joining, if you wish, one of our teams for new players.
During the winter months the club has short mat activity for social bowling and the Bournvitas team plays in the West Midlands Short Mat Super League.
