Good News:

The Bowls Development Alliance are using the club as a base to promote indoor and outdoor bowls in the region and provide workshops for outdoor clubs to assist them in increasing and retaining membership and participation in the sport. 

A solar energy project by Bristol Energy Cooperative installing 370 photovoltaic (PV) panels, with a capacity of 152kW, on the club roof was completed on 14 March 2020 and is generating electricity at a much reduced rate for the club, with excess fed back into the grid.  Nearly 50% of our electrical energy is being provided by the panels. For more information about the project see links below.
