About Us

       Motcombe Garden Bowls Club is situated in the delightful old town area of Eastbourne, East Sussex.

                   We are affiliated to Bowls England, The E.B.A, E.W.B.A, S.C.B.A, and S.C.W.B.A

The current membership stands at around 65 full membersand 12 associate members, with 5 life members for services rendered to the club.
We are a club formed in 1910 and looking forward to our centenary, for which events are already being planned. These include matches against a Bowls England side in early May and matches against both the Mens and Ladies of the Sussex County Bowels Association. See more details in the 2010 events page of this site.

We have a new clubhouse, completely rebuilt and opened in 2000 ,with the aid of a lottery grant and much fundraising by jumble sales, boot fairs and club events.

We have four rinks which are the envy of many in the town, with a small but well equipped club house. We have a full liquor licence and refreshments such as tea and coffee are always available. Each member is provided with a key and this enables them to set up a rink for practise or a club competition at a time to suit them.

We welcome new members and we have a full calender of club competitions for all levels including novices. In addition, many members compete in the local open competitions in Eastbourne, Bexhill and surrounding towns.

For those who wish to "have a try at the game" we have a fully qualified coach available who is only too willing to show them the ropes. In addition we have many experianced members willing to give up their time to help new bowlers.

Our most respected veteran player is aged over 90 and still able to reach a full length jack and still enjoys rolling up on several mornings in the week as well as joining in inter-club competitions.

A roll-up rink is available every morning for members and their guests and is  bookable for the afternoon sessions when there is no club match on.

Ladies Championship

We welcome touring teams and indeed we also travel on occasions to venues as far as Southwark and Haywards Heath.

In addition we have a very active Match Secretary who arranges away matches, touring teams and club away breaks. Our 100th anniversary season is already looking very busy,with  matches against the E.B.A, The Sussex Bowls Association etc.as well as barbecues,fish and chip nights, fun days and more to come.
