Stanley Crown Green Bowling Club

Your local opportunity for a little recreation and social gathering.

We are looking for budding Bowlers wanting to play either socially or taking part in games against other teams in the area.

We held a very successful Open Day event on 4th May 2025 and may run more at a future date. 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, Safety Officer, a Bowlers Representative as well as all Team Captains.

The club will hold several meetings throughout the year:

Pre-AGM for Committee Members only. Held towards the end of the year - next date TBC, this meeting discusses what items will be covered at the AGM.
AGM for all Bowlers, both League and Social. Held early in the year - next date TBC, this meeting covers a review of the previous season, club updates, new season dates and confirming Leagues in which Bowlers intend to participate. Anyone interested in joining the club is welcome to attend the AGM.
Ad-hoc and other Committee only meetings may be held should circumstances arise.
