Warlingham Short Mat Bowls Club

"Bowls is often depicted as an  old person's sport  but really, it is more a young person's sport that older people can still play."
 Ian  'Shoey' Schuback - Four Times World Bowls Champion

About Us

Warlingham Short Mat Bowls Club is a very popular mixed club that plays 3 times a week in Warlingham Church Hall, Surrey. The Club was founded in the 1980's and has 3 mats. It caters for all abilities, whether you just want a friendly roll-up or something more serious. For the more competitively minded we have internal competitions and inter-club matches but primarily people come to enjoy themselves, have a laugh and savour the craic. We also have a hot drink and a biscuit (or cake, if you're lucky !) at half time.

Roll-ups take place all year round on Mondays 1.30pm-3.30pm, Wednesdays 10am-12pm  and Fridays 2pm-4pm, including most Bank Holidays. Dress code is something comfortable with flat soled shoes. Tuition will be provided for new bowlers and bowls can be borrowed initially. Please aim to arrive about 30 minutes before the start so that the equipment can be set up and the teams organised. Green fees are £2 per session to include refreshments. Annual membership is £30.

If you would like to join us please email for further details via the "Contact Us" page. However, be aware that the club is currently full and you will be put on the waiting list for annual membership.

Warlingham SMBC is registered with the ESMBA via London County SMBA.
