WELCOME!

To Thorpe Bay Bowling Club

2023 was great - now on to 2024!

We can look back on 2023 with nostalgia already, having celebrated our 100th Anniversary throughout the season. But we prefer to look forward to the beckoning 2024 season!

We've enjoyed the winter with various events and regular Sunday lunch get-togethers, all of which have been hugely enjoyed by our members and their guests.

Now we can't wait to get bowling outside again.

The League fixtures and Club diary have been updated for the coming season. Check your own diary and update it with those all important game days!

Our Club is situated on the sea-front with magnificent views over the estuary, making it one of the most attractive Clubs in Essex. The Club is open to all with a bowling membership of around 130 and an additional 60 social members. The Club offers members the opportunity to bowl in various leagues, competitions and friendly matches.

Our 2024 Membership is now full, with many new bowlers joining this season to go through our coaching sessions - welcome to you all. However, if you would like to join us please use our 'Contact Us' page and provide your details, especially if you already bowl to a good standard. We operate a waiting list system.

The Club has a green which is well cared for and maintained by our green team. The attractive Club House has a fantastic terrace which is a great place to relax and socialise with friends over a beverage from our well stocked bar, or a cup of tea. The Club is mixed and has changing facilities for both Ladies and Gentlemen.

The Club is affiliated to Bowls England, London & Southern Counties Bowling Association, Essex County Bowling Association and the Southend & District Bowling Association.
