Who Are We?

We are a friendly and informal club (with a proud history) for players of all standards and ages: from teens to tottering.

Our bowling green is a hidden gem in the heart of Muswell Hill, a perfect place to enjoy a summer drink at our bar and gently roll the woods in friendly and competitive matches.

Our season runs from May to September. Playing and social members are welcome. Details of forthcoming friendly and competition fixtures are in the Calendar on the Competitions page here and in the regularly updated fixtures list here.

We wear casual clothes and soft flat shoes except for weekend fixtures when we wear the traditional all white, or for a mid-week match, a white top and grey skirt/trousers .

And if you are playing in competitive games then please check out the rules of the game and our common sense and common courtesy etiquette guide here.

The Clubhouse and Bar

All playing and social members are entitled to use the clubhouse and bar when open. Additionally guests may accompany members into the clubhouse.

Club Nights - Tuesdays and Fridays from 5.30pm
Roll ups and an open bar

Please help out whenever possible by getting rid of rubbish and bringing glasses back to the bar ( ideally into the dishwasher after use). We are all volunteers helping to run the Club..

A Brief History

The club was founded in 1901 and celebrated its centenary in 2001. It is one of the oldest clubs in north London with a proud history.

FNLBA President's Cup
Lovely, friendly game on Sunday but we lost to a very consistent Potters Bar side - the current holders.

Prentice (Tuesday evenings)
Played Cockfosters (our league leaders) on Tuesday July 28th. Won at home; lost away but they won on aggregate scores. Great excitement at home when on the final end we won by four woods to finish one shot up!

(Latest table for our sector below as of 28 June.)

Prescott
Latest league table below.

Cornish Cup
This week (the 21st July) we travelled to Broomfield and won on both rinks. Richard Toby and John won convincingly on the first rink; Wendy Liam and Peter O eventually came through as darkness was falling to win well on the other one.

We should be table toppers now!

Bertie Joel
We managed to put out three triples at home for a lovely match with local rivals North London. We lost on two of the three rinks but there were only a few shots in it.
