ellekit Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Having lived here for years, we've only just discovered the bowling green within Peckham Rye Park. It's only open from April to September so we we've missed most of the season, but does anyone know if there is a league? I've had a look online but can't find the answer.

Annette Curtain Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 There's also a club in the villageI bowled there once with a vicars wife who leant sideways & wore a neck braceI loved it, felt like something out of The League of Gentleman Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25693-lawn-bowls-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-578048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think there's a club in Dulwich Park too, unless that's what you meant.

bonniebird Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 There used to be a team of older people who bowled there regularly until the new hut got burnt down, they had to wait for a new hut to be built and the insurance etc to go through, they never really came back :( shame Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25693-lawn-bowls-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-578137 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimsi Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I appreciate that this is an old message, but I have just seen it. I am not sure whether you are still looking for a club. I play bowls, but not in the Dulwich area. I do know there are several which I have mentioned below if that is of any help to you.Dulwich Constitution Club.Dulwich Park - as mentioned above.Southwark Sports - at the back of Dulwich Park - next to the horse riding stables.They are all good in there own way. The cheapest in Dulwich Park, the most competitive is Southwark Sports. I hope that is of some help.Bowls season starts around April. The clubs above all play in leagues etc.I am 47 years old and have beeb bowling for 20 years I lov it.RegardsKimsi Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25693-lawn-bowls-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-612384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffers Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Which is best for a beginner? I quite fancy the idea. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25693-lawn-bowls-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-612478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLogCo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The one in the village is very welcoming. Probably one of the few sports you can start mid life & still be the youngest player.I played my first game at 39. It's a lovely relaxing sport, I'd like to start again.

Martin W. Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Anyone wishing to learn, play or simply watch lawn bowls in stunning, secluded surroundings with a cheap bar, large clubhouse (brand new kitchen & toilets). We will make you very welcome.Huge resurgence in the game due to it being social, fun, very retro and a bit bonkers!please contact Martin: email - [email protected]Southwark Sports Bowls & Social Club, Clubhouse, Dulwich Common, SE21 7EU (020 8693 0646)***Free coaching and equipment***Ps. When Kimsi says we are competitive, that's because we not only have lots of social friendly games but have teams in midweek and weekend leagues and enter the local competitions NOT because we take it overly seriously!!!

Dopamine1979 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's always empty too. It's so tempting to jump the fence and sit in there with a book.
