Keynsham Bowling Club was formed in 1957 and has bowled in the Memorial Park ever since, as tenants of a succession of Local Authorities in whom the ownership of the park has rested.
Keynsham Bowling Club’s close proximity to Bristol allows us to affiliate to and participate fully in both the City & County of Bristol and Somerset County Bowling Associations. Our men enter three teams in the Somerset County League (Saturday afternoons), two in the Bristol & District League (Thursday evenings) and just the one permitted in the Bristol Triples League (Friday afternoons). Our ladies enter a team in the North Somerset League (Tuesday or Thursday afternoons).
Both ladies and men compete as club teams in a variety of County and National Cup Competitions and individual Club Members are encouraged to enter both County and National Competitions as singles, pairs (including mixed pairs), triples and fours.
Keynsham Bowling Club also runs no less than seventeen different internal competitions, including one just for novices. The knock-out competitions include five for ladies, seven for men, one mixed and one open.
Competitions in league format include two for mixed teams and one for men only. We re-introduced) our Junior trophy in 2008 and hope this will now be an annual feature. Novice bowlers are encouraged to participate in friendly matches as soon as possible, with a view to progressing to league bowling when they are confident to do so.
Keynsham Bowling Club is able to offer the services of at least six qualified coaches from amongst the membership to assist novices and experienced bowlers alike. Coaching sessions are usually held on Monday mornings and/or evenings, but other arrangements can be made for those with work, school or carers commitments.
Whatever your bowling ability or bowling aspirations, you can be guaranteed a very warm welcome here at Keynsham Bowling Club.
