Bowls Clubs

There are two bowls clubs within a short distance of Whitchurch, details of which are given below.  Until the 1980s there was a green in Eastfield Lane, Whitchurch, but two houses now occupy the site.

Pangbourne & District Bowls Club

The Pangbourne & District Bowls Club has a full six rink green located at the Recreation Ground, Thames Avenue, Pangbourne, RG8 7BY. Their season runs from early April until the end of September and they compete in several local leagues as well as playing friendly matches against other clubs. They are always looking for new members, both ladies and gentlemen, and coaching can be provided by registered County coaches. New members pay just half of the normal membership fee in the first year. Full details can be found on their website –  or you can contact the Secretary, Alan Copeland on 01491 681471.
