Membership
Kingsthorpe Bowling Club is continually looking to attract new members to come and join us and enjoy our facilities.
We strive to make all our members, guests and potential new bowlers feel at home when at the club and please remember, bowls are a great way to get to know new people, make new friends and socialise whilst playing competitively.
If you are interested in joining our club why not arrange a visit and have a try at bowls first? To get the bowl rolling, simply contact the office or fill the form in on the contact page using the button below and someone will be in touch.
We look forward to welcoming you.
