Welcome to the
Royal Leamington Spa Bowling Club

A club house of one form or another has stood on this site for the last 96 years. The existing club house was rebuilt in 1995, ready for when Royal Leamington Spa hosted the Women's World Bowls in 1996.

The centre portion was modelled on the previous club house and now contains the bar area and kitchen. The addition of a dining hall to the left and men's and ladies' changing rooms to the right completes the current facilities.

Originally, there was a single green on the current site. A second was added 10 years later, then a third, and finally, with the arrival of the EWBA National Championships, a fourth green. In 1995, a fifth green was added in readiness for the Women's World Bowls tournament.

Royal Leamington Spa is still the home of the Bowls England Ladies National Championships. (In fact, the headquarters of the women's game in England is on site.) It has also hosted a number of Bowls England Under 25 International matches and Bowls England Junior Ladies Trials. A number of institutions, such as the Civil Service, also host their national finals at the Club.

The Club runs a full season of men's and ladies' fixtures against the other local clubs, the men generally playing on Saturday afternoons, and the ladies generally mid-week. The Club enters four men's teams in a local mid-week league, with the ladies entering teams in two evening leagues. Tuesday evening is club night which takes the form of a triples league, before everyone retires to the bar.

For the last four years, the winter has been taken up with a season of short mat bowls, members meeting on a couple of nights each week. Club teams are entered in local short mat leagues.

During the year, the Club also organises a number of well-attended social events, such as a quiz night, 1960's evening, etc. In late May, a coach load of members depart for a week's tour somewhere in England. The Club also organises a week's tour to foreign climes.
