    THATCHAM BOWLING CLUB 

    We are a club, open to all, which, from April to September, offers the facilities to play outdoor lawn bowls. There are opportunities to learn the game from scratch with the guidance of qualified coaches and to play the game socially and competitively. We play friendly matches and in competitive local leagues. Many players take part in county and national competitions.
