Welcome to the Bridgnorth Bylet Bowling Club

Our Club was founded in 1884 and occupies an island in the River Severn in Bridgnorth, UK.

We play 'Crown Green' bowls and have two greens. The club has eight different teams which play in a number of local leagues:

• Shropshire Premier League (Team of 12 on Friday evenings)

• Mid-Shropshire League (one team of 10 on Friday and one of 10 on Monday evenings)

• Highley League (two teams of 8 on Tuesday evenings)

• Mid-Shropshire Senior Citizens League (three teams of 6 on Wednesday afternoons)

During the close season, we play indoor short-mat bowls in the clubhouse as well as darts, dominoes, whist and bingo. We also hold a number of social functions details of which can be found on the events page.

This web site was started to help keep the club together following the devastating fire that destroyed our original clubhouse in August 2007. Our new clubhouse was opened in July 2009 and you can view some pictures of the restoration work on the gallery page.

AGM Update

At last night's AGM, it became apparent that all the existing Committee Members and Club Officers (with the possible exception of the Secretary) were standing down from their positions. This has left the club in a precarious position and if sufficient members fail to come forward to help in the near future, it's likely that the club will have to close.

Your club needs you!

The meeting closed after it was resolved to hold a special general meeting on Monday 24th February at 8pm in the club.

This meeting will discuss the following:

• Election of Officers and Committee

• Proposals from the retiring Captain which were received too late to be discussed at the AGM. Available here.

• Changes to the Club Constitution, tidying up some items and allowing Social Members of at least 5 years standing to become Committee members and/or Club Officers. The current constitution (dated 2014) can be found here and the proposed version (with changes highlighted) is here.

Pete Driver has produced a task list for each of the main roles involved in managing the club and they're available below.
