WELCOME
A warm welcome to Swansea Bowling Club's website.
Swansea Bowling Club is located on Bryn Road, a short distance from Swansea beach
at Brynmill, situated between the City of Swansea and the Victorian village of Oystermouth
and the Mumbles. It is also a short distance from the Gower Peninsula -
We have an excellent pavilion / clubhouse in which we offer our members and visiting clubs meals as well as a well stocked bar and entertainment.
Visiting clubs are always welcome for friendly matches.
Similarly new members are welcomed. If you have never bowled before we have coaches on hand to assist. Come and visit the club; you are under no obligation to join. The club runs two open sessions per week, Spoons on Monday evenings (17.45 ), and Triples on Wednesday afternoons ( 14.15 )
As well as being a competitive bowling club, we have a strong social side with barbecues, concerts, and various activities throughout the season.
Three Cliffs Bay is just one example of the many picturesque and beautiful coves and beaches on the Gower Peninsula. Others include, Bracelet Bay, Limeslade Bay, Rotherslade and Langland Bays, Caswell Bay, Pwll Ddu, Oxwich and Rhossilli. The area is ideal for walkers with many public footpaths.
Greens don’t come easy !
This year, our green at Bryn Road has gathered many plaudits from visiting players, including those from touring sides. The improvement of the green has come about through constant effort from a team led by Peter Gambold and John White. We are grateful for the guidance and advice from Peter Griffiths of Rigby Taylor, who is always available when the unexpected occurs.
Immediately after closing of the green this year, work commenced which hopefully will ensure a superb playing surface for next year’s Centenary celebrations. Initially scarifying and hollow tining was undertaken, and our thanks must go to Mark Foster of “The Mower Workshop”, who was called out to repair one of the machines at a critical stage in the operation. The next phase is top dressing which is now under way. This will be followed by further treatment over the next few weeks.
John White and Peter Gambold in relaxed mood.
Closing of the Green
On a day which at one time looked to be full of rain, the final session of the season was played in very good conditions. The competition played over 16 ends, plus a final 3 end eliminator, was won by Lynda Shaw, Margaret Ellis, and Lyn Smith, pictured below.
A fine buffet completed a very successful afternoon. We can now look forward to our Annual Dinner, and to an exciting period next year when Swansea Bowling Club will celebrate its centenary.
