Angel Indoor Bowls Club

We are a member’s bowls club based in Tonbridge and are one of the few Indoor Bowls Clubs in the Country that is right in the Centre of a Town.

We can be easily reached by road or public transport. We have 6 bowling rinks, a well stocked bar at club prices and a restaurant that can provide snacks or main meals.

Ample car parking is also available. But we are more than just a bowls club. We are an important part of the Community where our 600 or so members can meet up and enjoy life in general.

History of Angel Indoor Bowls Club

On a November evening in 1979 four local bowlers, John Hewlett, Jack Skinner, Stan Rawlings, (Tonbridge), and Peter Burtenshaw, (Whitefriars), visited the newly opened six- rinks purpose built facility at Eastbourne. They were much impressed by what they saw and gained valuable information to take back with them to Tonbridge concerning the financing, building and administration of such a facility.

Imbued with a wave of enthusiasm, the four set about bringing to Tonbridge a centre to match that at Eastbourne, and a steering committee was formed to investigate the possibility of building a centre in Tonbridge and an intense programme of canvassing commenced for financial support.
