CROWN GREEN BOWLING
IN THE VILLA MARINA COMPLEX
AGM Sunday 24 November, 6.30 pm Woody Pool Room
Nicknamed the Villa, we’re a crown green bowling club located within the Villa Marina Complex – our green overlooks the Villa Marina Gardens. The entrance to our green is through the large green gates at the corner of Derby Square Lane and Derby Road – just walk in and up the steps.
The Crown green bowling season runs from early April to late September. Matches take place most weekday nights during the season, so you’ll usually find someone on or around the green.
Teams
Crown green bowling is suitable for players of any age.
We have the following teams:
- Four men’s night league teams
- One ladies’ night league team
- Two men’s over 60s teams
- Two mixed teams
Matches take place most nights during the season. The men’s over 60s teams play Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
Junior coaching
Crown green bowling features in the Manx Youth Games.
We offer junior coaching from 10.30 am – 11.30 am Saturdays from early March through to late August. Sessions cost £1.
For more information about junior coaching contact the secretary.
