Our Outdoor Bowling Green is second-to-none and all the players are so friendly. We’d love you to come along and improve your skills, or maybe take up a new hobby and meet new people.
The Plessey Bowls Club was founded in 1973, and moved to the Isle of Wight Community Club in 1986. We are a mixed Club with circa 120 members, a third of which are ladies. We are affiliated to Bowls England and the Isle of Wight. We have 3 Men’s teams competing in the Saturday leagues, and 2 teams in the afternoon leagues. The Ladies have 2 teams competing in the island leagues. We also compete in the island mixed league. A number of our members represent the Island in County and National competitions.
There is an active internal Thursday evening league which runs from May to September, we are always looking for new players. We have great facilities for touring teams, two well maintained greens with changing rooms and pavilion. The main club has a well stock bar with catering facilities that can provide lunches and evening meals.
