Carreras Bowls Club, Basildon

Carreras Bowls Club, Basildon Carreras Bowls Club is 'the friendly club' open to anyone with an interest in bowling. Carreras Bowls Club values its reputation as 'the friendly club'.

Our club is open to all ages and abilities, and extends a warm invitation and welcome to new members. We are located in Basildon, next to Basildon Sporting Village in Gloucester Park, where the green is professionally maintained in excellent condition. We offer bowling to suit all preferences, from friendly social bowls such as roll-ups and club days, then friendly matches against other clubs, goi

ng on to local leagues and competitions at club, county and national level for the more competitive player. We also organise a number of social events throughout the year to maintain our friendship and enjoy each others company. The Club is actively seeking to expand its membership. If you're interested, come and talk to us and give it a go at one of our 'Come and Try' days, which will start in May 2024 with qualified coaches and instructors to give new players free instruction, and with bowls woods loaned by the Club. A great way to have fun and meet new people! All new members are allocated a 'buddy' - an experienced member of the club who can guide and explain every aspect, and give help wherever necessary. In addition the Club also offers coaching - to all members - on an individual basis if required.

Weโ€™re really pleased to be supporting Carreras Bowls Club, Basildon through the Basildon Area Committee.

Cllr Ferguson, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport, Community and Youth stopped by the club to meet Kevin Knowles from the club and see their work first hand and learn how this funding will benefit everyone who uses the facilities.

Carreras Bowls Club welcomes men and women of all ages and abilities, offering a warm invitation to anyone thinking of giving bowls a try. Their motto says it all: you donโ€™t need to be over 60 to play bowls!

Our Area Committees give residents a real voice in shaping their communities. They help people get involved in the improvements that matter most to them, and theyโ€™ve already supported a wide range of projects across the borough.

Funding the new awning at Carreras Bowls Club is another great example of how targeted local investment can boost community facilities and help them thrive.

It was a busy day at Gloucester Park today as we had the pleasure to host the 'Basildon Sporting Trophy' with 9 clubs attending. The sun shone at first but with quite a strong wind and showers in the afternoon the players battled through. There was a good friendly atmosphere as the teams fought for the Trophy.

We are pleased to say that Carreras won - congratulations to Chris, Beverley, Sandra and Dean. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

The runners Up were Hadleigh.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thank you to everyone who took part and made it a very enjoyable day. Special thanks go to the Carreras support team for all their efforts before, during and after the match. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

With the 2025 season getting closer, the sun shining and Spring in the air, we had a great afternoon tea: sausage rolls, cheese and onion swirls, scones with clotted cream and a mountain of cakes.
