Fancy Playing Bowls?

If you are new to the game of bowls, we have a pathway just for you.

If you are a Crown Green Bowler looking for a new experience or direction, or fed up of playing on heavy grass greens, give our carpet a try. It's like full length indoor bowls but in the fresh air.

We have a free taster programme, a "Try before you Buy" which you can access by clicking on the 'Play Bowls/Stay Active' header at the top of the page, Fill in the form and we will contact you as soon as possible.

We have several qualified coaches who will help you all the way.

If you are an experienced Club Bowler, we can integrate you into Club and County Life.

If you are an experienced bowler, the Membership Application is on the drop down menu under the 'Join Us' header at the top of the page. The various categories of Membership are explained on the first page, with the link to the Membership Application at the foot of the page. Once you have filled in the form you will receive an acknowledgement explaining all about the Club, how to pay your Membership Fee, and the Competitions we organise.

Club members can enter all competitions, (apart from the Singles & Early Season Pairs Leagues for which the closing date has passed), by way of the "Competitions" header at the top of the Home Page and follow the links on the drop down menu.

Visit from Shottstown Miner's Bowls Club

Saturday 16 May 2026.

Shottstown Miner's Bowls Club are from the small Midlothian town of Penecuik, just south of Edinburgh. They are on a short tour of Lancashire and visited BFGBC on Saturday. A great time was had by all, despite the dreich weather which increased slightly as the day went. It gave both teams the excuse to retire to the club house early and spend more time on the buffet and liquid refreshment.

Many thanks to Carol & Ruth for the buffet and thanks to Paul, Moira & Jane for keeping us well watered.
