We are a warm and friendly club where you can play bowls all year round.
We've been providing organised bowls matches and associated facilities since 1960, and we currently have over 400 members with teams, competitions, tournaments and friendly games for men, women, mixed, juniors, seniors... in fact for anyone and everyone.
We also run a Tuesday morning 'roll-up' every week, if you get a sudden urge to have a bowl and haven't got anything else already booked in!

A bit about us
In addition to being the only bowls club in the area with both indoor and outdoor rinks (we have 6 of each!), we also have a fully equipped kitchen where meals are prepared for our regular social events, plus a well-stocked bar and a club shop.
Our members enjoy an active social calendar, including a tour (often overseas) every year, as well as holding regular charity fundraising events in support of local good causes.
So whether you're a complete beginner, a seasoned veteran, or just fancy trying something different that will challenge you a bit as well as providing a great social environment, simply pop along and say hello... you'll be made very welcome!
Outdoor Bowling
The outdoor bowls season runs from April to September each year, when we participate in a wide range of County-wide leagues and competitions.
There is an extensive fixture list of friendly weekend and mid-week games that all outdoor members can sign up for if they wish.
We also run a wide range of internal club competitions and championships throughout the summer, and frequently play host to visiting touring clubs and County fixtures.
Towards the end of the season we like to arrange at least two floodlit matches, and players and guests can enjoy excellent service from our bar and bistro on all match days.
Indoor Bowling
The official indoor bowling season runs from September to April each year, although indoor bowls continues on a more casual basis throughout the summer months, and includes a Wednesday evening triples league.
We run a wide range of internal leagues through the season, plus regular friendly matches (home and away), club ‘roll-ups’, internal club competitions and rink time for practice sessions.
We are also engaged in a wide range of County competitions and leagues, as well as UK-wide national competitions.
Here at Cotswold Bowls Club, we are able to offer free coaching for beginners or for those more seasoned bowlers wishing to polish up their game.
The club offers games to suit all abilities at varying times and days in order to cater to both working and retired members.
