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 .

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.
