Denton Island Indoor Bowls

Denton Island Bowls Club, the premier bowls club in the South East, offers a warm welcome to all. Established in 1997, our mission is to provide a top-notch facility for the local community to gather, have fun, and enjoy the game of bowls, irrespective of the weather. We take pride in being a friendly club that provides both bowls and social club memberships.

Our Facilities

Our club is open all year round and boasts six indoor rinks, a fully licensed bar, and river side views. We offer disabled access, including facilities, and a wheelchair that is adapted for use on the rink. Our club is conveniently located with free parking available.

Bowls Membership

If you are new to bowls or an experienced player, Denton Island Bowls Club is the perfect place for you. We offer a variety of matches, leagues, and competitions for seasoned players. New members can take advantage of regular coaching sessions, designed to make you a confident player. Our coaching sessions cover everything you need to know, from what to wear to the rules of the game.

We also offer roll-ups, which can be booked in advance. We cater to all levels of play, and our team of experienced coaches is always on hand to offer help and advice.

Social Membership

If bowls isn't your thing, that's fine. We have a thriving social club offering a full program of activities, including Bridge, Keep Fit, and Line Dancing. Social members have full use of the facilities, including the social lounge and bar, and receive our monthly magazine. Social membership costs just 30 per year.

Taster Sessions

If you are new to bowls, we offer taster sessions every month, and the first one is free. Our taster sessions are a great way to try out the game and meet some of our members. Booking is required, so please contact us to book your place.

Club Leagues

We have three types of leagues at Denton Island Bowls Club: Ladies leagues, Mens Leagues, and Mixed Leagues. Each league comprises a Team Leader and playing members. Team Leaders have a good knowledge of players' abilities and preferred positions. They form teams for the league, and produce a playing schedule for each member.

Team formats apply to all club leagues. Triples consist of six or seven players, but only three play at any one time. Rinks comprise eight players, but only four play at any one time. The winter league starts in October and finishes in April. Each team plays approximately 25 games, with each person typically playing between 11 to 13 games. Scores are published weekly, and the team with the highest number of points at the end of the season wins.

Improving Your Game

We have two coaches available for improver sessions on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Please call to book. We are committed to helping our members improve their game and have a team of dedicated coaches on hand to offer guidance and support.
