CENTURY FOR BEGINNERS

To start, all you'll need are some comfortable clothes and some clean, flat shoes to wear on the green. You'll receive expert coaching as part of your first year's membership, teaching you the basics of the sport. You'll learn how to deliver the jack, how to hold your bowl and bowl it accurately.. You'll practice these skills under the guidance of your coach.

Your coach will advise you on the correct size and weight of bowl you should use to match your hand size and grip. When you're ready, they'll advise you on the purchase of your first set of bowls - second hand sets can be bought from around £60., ideal for beginners. 

After your coaching lessons, you'll be ready to join one of our roll-ups - 2 hour sessions where members roll-up and play informal, relaxed matches. As you progress, you'll be ready to move on to . . . .  

As well as our regular roll-ups, Century runs numerous internal leagues and knock-out competitions - for men, for ladies, mixed and for all standards of play.

As well as regular friendlies with other clubs, Century competes in Harrow & District and Middlesex County inter-club competitions and we enter teams in National competitions too.

Whatever your standard there will be a competition for you to enter and a team for you to join.

Century Bowling Club has a spacious car park which surrounds the building. For security, you will be given a fob to enter the club where there are male and female changing rooms with personalised lockers for you to keep your equipment.

The greens are fully accessible with appropriate ramps and a wide wheeled wheelchair

available for use.

Both indoor and outdoor greens are served by licensed bars that offer a wide range of drinks with discounted pricing for members and guests. There are viewing galleries that overlook the greens, both with comfortable seating. Ideal places to relax after a game with friends.
