A Brief History

​

Clarence Bowling Club was founded in 1907, followed in 1926 by Clarence Ladies’ Bowling Club. In 1965, Wessex Ladies’ Bowling Club was formed, and continues to share our facilities.

​

In 2002, following a generous legacy from former club-member Les Andrews – and a great deal of hard work by our members – the Les Andrews pavilion was opened by David Bryant MBE and this provides us with one of the best clubhouse facilities in the country.

​

In 2017, Clarence Ladies joined Clarence Bowling Club to form a mixed club – whilst Wessex Ladies voted to remain independent.

​

The clubs continue to work harmoniously together and the Clarence Park Bowling Association looks after our outside spaces – very ably supported by Avon Sportsground Maintainance who, under the supervision of our Greens Manager, maintain our three greens to a very high standard.
