Hurst BC has been nominated for the “King’s Award for Voluntary Service”. This is the highest award for a voluntary organisation and is the group equivalent of an MBE for personal service. The Link Charity nominated us for the support we provide to elderly and isolated people in our community.
Lawn Bowls is a very easy sport to play but takes years to master. There are many benefits to playing the game.
We invite you to try this enjoyable sport which is challenging without needing physical prowess. Although a form of the game can be traced back to early Egypt the sport as we know it today is regulated by Bowls England to which we are affiliated.
This outdoor sport is enjoyed in dry or wet weather, as long as the green is safe and playable. We have to adjust to the characteristics of the various greens we visit (their speed and imperfections) as well as the strategy of the game itself.
Accessible Facilities: The club can provide equipment, training, and well-maintained greens.
Competitive & Recreational Play: Whether you want to play casually or compete, we cater to all levels. For more information please view our Match Formats page.
If you are interested in becoming a member then please fill in the membership application form. Otherwise contact our membership secretary in the Contacts page.
Link Visiting Scheme
The club, behind The Castle Inn, also offers a haven of fun and friendship to mainly older folk helped by Wokingham’s Link visiting scheme.
Up to 20 people go along each Thursday for bowls, tea, cake and chat – but only from April to September.
Many of the members kindly give up their time to help the local community and provide a friendly environment for our Link visitors.
After 12 years of running the scheme see what the people at Link have to say…
