Welcome to Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club, located in the beautiful Northumberland region of New Zealand. As the Christmas season and New Year festivities come to an end, many of us are looking to get back into shape after indulging in good food and drink with loved ones. Although outdoor bowling season is still a few months away, its never too early to start looking forward to enjoying the fresh air and serene surroundings at Elvaston Bowling Club.
Whether you are a seasoned bowler or have never played before, Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club welcomes individuals of all ages and skill levels. Bowling is a sport that transcends age barriers, allowing both the youngest and oldest bowlers to compete together in a challenging and competitive spirit. Apart from being a social and enjoyable sport, bowls also offer minimal costs for equipment, making it accessible to all who wish to partake.
The club is especially proud of its new members who have joined recently with no previous bowling experience. These enthusiastic individuals have attended jumbles on Saturdays and have performed exceptionally well, showcasing their commitment to learning the sport. Some new bowlers have also participated in the Monday Shield matches, which offer longer single team games, providing a different level of excitement and challenge. The club congratulates all new bowlers on their progress and achievements so far.
At Hexham Elvaston Bowling Club, the role of a Skip is often filled with stress and frustration, wondering how to deal with the challenges that arise after the team has made their offering. This common pose, frequently seen on the green, captures a Skip's contemplation and occasional satisfaction as they navigate through the game. It is worth noting that even the most experienced Skips can sometimes undo the hard work of their team members!
