WEST SUSSEX BOWLS TOURING CLUB

You are interested in becoming a member?

Some information about the club that may help you make your mind up as to whether joining us is for you.

The club was formed in 1955 by a group of bowlers from in and around Littlehampton and Worthing. The sole purpose of the club was to provide social recreation and a bowling holiday for male bowlers. Nothing has changed since these early days except that the club has developed a regular ‘non tour’ fixture list in both the Outdoor and Indoor seasons.

We have been lucky enough to have had in our membership no less than four Sussex County Bowling Association Presidents, at least three Sussex County selectors, our members have won numerous County Competitions and three National Championships.

Although competitive on the green we pride ourselves on being a club for all standards literally from beginners to National Champion. We believe our club has a tremendous reputation for camaraderie both on and off the green and this is paramount in the thoughts of the committee when reviewing applications from new members. Potential members must at the time of their application be a member of a Bowling Club (Indoor or Out) within the County boundary of West Sussex or be a member of a bowling club outside West Sussex but resident within West Sussex.

Applicants should be aware that the club is run for bowlers who wish to:

  • Travel on our annual tour (usually 2nd week in May)
  • Partake in our ‘non tour’ matches and invited ‘opens’ both indoor and outdoor
  • Have an interest in attending our annual dinner (usually 1st Friday in May)
  • Enjoy themselves in the company of like minded bowlers
  • The club wear Burgundy coloured shirts (and Burgundy coloured jumpers if one is worn) for all their matches and upon acceptance to the club details will be given to members re purchase of the garments.

Our current fees are:

  • Joining fee £10
  • Annual subscription: £15
  • Club shirts: £16
  • Club jumpers: £16
  • Club fleeces: £16
