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.
