The game of 'Bowls' has been in evidence for many years, dating back to the fourteenth century. An Act of Parliament in 1541 prohibited ‘inferior’ people from playing the game of Bowls. Since then the game has moved forward tremendously, being enjoyed by all age groups, from every ‘class’ of person, both male and female.
The English Bowling Association was formed in 1903 and by the Crown Green Association in 1907. The Scottish Bowling Association was formed earlier, in 1892, and indeed Scotland is the home of the World Bowls Association.
For more information about the game see the page 'History of Bowls'

This site is mainly intended for Club members, however if you are a visitor "Welcome to the Birstall Bowling Club 'Beehive' Web Site" We hope you will gain an insight into our Club and perhaps it will raise an interest in you to try the beautiful game of Bowls either at our Club or elsewhere.
New Members are alway most welcome, either contact one of the officers listed in 'Contacts' or call at the Clubhouse, the best time is Tuesday evening around 6-15pm when someone will take care of you and loan you a set of bowls and shoes etc. See the page 'New Bowlers Welcome' for much more information.
