Yate Bowling Club was founded in 1981 and has become a well established club among the bowling community in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. It has a playing membership of over 70 bowlers. We have a very active social calendar, with dinners, skittle night, race night and fun bowls events and other special events arranged throughout the year.


We are affiliated to Gloucestershire County Bowls and also to Bowls England. We participate in three leagues: The Cotswold League (Men), the NE Bristol League (Mixed) and the Bristol Ladies League. We have a busy bowling calendar with over 70 friendly matches against other clubs, "turn up and try" days for new bowlers and various events throughout the summer.


As a club we offer excellent facilities, with a fully-stocked bar, four changing rooms, a Council-maintained six-rink bowling green, ample parking, a Bowls England-approved coaching scheme, regular email newsletters, a "buddy" scheme for new members and an active recruitment committee.
