Paddock Wood Bowls Club has a reputation throughout Kent as a warm and friendly club.  

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary in 2018.  For a full history of the club. please see the Club History page.

As one of only a handful of clubs in Kent with an artificial playing surface, we are able to play throughout the year and have very few matches cancelled due to inclement weather conditions.

Membership costs £55 per annum.  There is a special discount for new members who are 'new to bowls' who only pay £30 for their first year's membership.

Bowls is a relatively cheap sport to play.  We have a selection of bowls for new members to try out when they first join and many members will purchase a secondhand set of Bowls as their first set.  This will cost somewhere between £10 and £50.  Once established, an upgrade to a new set of bowls will cost in the region of £180 to £250.

New members can try out the sport in Trainers or flat soled shoes.  A pair of Bowls shoes can be bought for around £25.

Once established, members need a pair of grey or white trousers (or skirt) and white shirt.  Our club shirt, subsidised by our main sponsor, Berry and Lamberts Solicitors costs £10 which includes club badge and your name.  

Wet weather clothing is also useful but many members will buy these secondhand from other club members.  Often, when we visit clubs, secondhand clothing is for sale in the changing rooms.
