Whatever your age and whether you are a novice or an experienced bowler looking to join a brand new bowls club just starting up, then the Phoenix outdoor flat green bowling club at the Somerlea Centre in Somercotes, is the place for you.
Membership for the 2019 season is just £10 per member. You may be wondering why the membership is so low, when other club in the area or charging £50 / £60 to each member, this is because we are only just starting up and too late to join any competitive bowling leagues this year. All Bowls club usually fix all their league matches in the month of February for that season, and that is the only reason why our fees are £10 this year, we will always fight in our clubs corner to ensure that our membership fees are the lowest in the area over the coming years.
This year we are in essence only a social bowling club seeking new members which make this club ideal if you are just starting out in the great game of bowls because there is no pressure on you, just the pure pleasures of outdoor bowls on a sunny day relaxing on the green with family and friends having a laugh and learning about the great game of bowls at the same time.
We will of course hold our own club rollup days at least once a week or more if possible, with tea and biscuits it’s a good time to socialise and have a laugh, we will also have our own internal matches and invite other clubs to come and give us a friendly game which is a little more competitive, again another great way to learn the game on a more competitive level and make new friends at the same time. All new and old members will be made very welcome at the Phoenix Bowls Club at the Somerlea Centre in Somercotes.
If you are an existing member of a bowls club and play in their leagues, you could still come and join us at the Phoenix Bowls Club for just £10 per season and play for 22 weeks this year, this is equivalent to just 45 pence per week and you would not affect your membership or ability to play for your home club in their league matches, because our club is not affiliated to any leagues, and we do not play in any leagues matches at this time. We will be seeking membership into the leagues next year if we attain the required numbers of members this year.
If you love the game as we do, come and help new players get a good grounding and understanding of the joy and friendship there is in the great game of bowls. Come and help build The Phoenix Bowls Club at the Somerlea Centre in Somercotes into a club that respects and encourages its members to submit ideas and suggestions for making this club the best club to join.
All members of The Phonex Bowls Club at the Somerlea Centre in Somercotes can play on the green 7 days a week from 11a.m. until dusk each day, from mid-April till mid-September each year and there are six rinks on the green. Members will be able to acquire their own key to access welfare facilities at the centre.
