Your local opportunity for a little recreation and social gathering. We are always looking for budding Bowlers wanting to play either socially or taking part in games against other teams in the area.
Following the success of last years Open Day event, we held another one on Sunday 3rd May 2026.
Unfortunately, the weather was not kind to us, but thank you to those who turned up!
We are hoping to run another FREE Taster Session later in the year.
Feel free to come along to a practice session to find out more. All ages 12 and upwards are welcome to join.
The season runs from the start of April till early September.
We have 2 teams known as Stanley A and Stanley B.
Practice sessions are generally run on Tuesday mid afternoon and evening subject to weather. Note that as a social bowler you can still use the green at any time when matches are not in play.
We play competitive games as follows:
Monday: 13:00 to 16:00 - Wakefield VETS (Over 60 only) - Both A & B Teams
Wednesday: 18:30 to 21:00 - Wakefield Workshops - Both A & B Teams
Thursday: 18:30 to 21:00 - Ossett & Horbury - Both A & B Teams
Saturday: 13:00 to 1600 - Saturday League - only 1 team so may be home or away
To find out more about what games we are playing, when and where, please initially go direct to one of our Leagues at VETS - Workshops - Ossett & Horbury or Saturday.
The League can then be saved for future access by choosing "User info" at the top left and then setting "My Bowlsnet" and optionally selecting a team.
Once Leagues have been selected and saved you can simply pick from these at the Bowlsnet website.
The Committee is made up of a Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Safeguarding Officer, a Bowlers Representative as well as all Team Captains.
