Change to Rink Booking Process

Due to technical difficulties with our website 'Contact Us' form, which some members are still using, we are withdrawing this as a method of booking rinks for competitions (internal and external), club nights and ALL 'informal' roll-ups with immediate effect.

Going forward:
  • ALL requests for rink bookings MUST be sent to the following email address: withambc@gmail.com AND they should also be entered on to the Rink Booking Sheet located on the outside notice board at the club house.This, hopefully, will eliminate the possibility of any duplicate bookings - the bookings will also be available for viewing on the WBC Google Calendar [please use the above link] providing that WBC Technical Support have been given sufficient notice to action your request. Ideally 24 hours notice would be appreciated.
  • ALL requests for Club Night and Club Drive bookings MUST be sent to the following [same] email address: withambc@gmail.com. Please provide as much notice as possible with these requests as it allows us to plan the rinks for club night in advance and reduce delays on the night.

This procedure will remain in place for the remainder of the 2021 season to ensure that we comply with GOV.UK / BE guidance and support the Track & Trace requirements

Thank you for your co-operation.

WITHAM BOWLS CLUB, a well established outdoor sporting venue is situated in central Witham. The Club was founded in 1904 and moved in 1921 to its current location in pleasant and tranquil surroundings in Collingwood Road.

The Club supports a healthy membership of both ladies and gentlemen and continues to welcome new members, with or without bowling experience from within the district. Our qualified bowls coaches are available for basic instruction and tuition as well as to assist the more experienced member. Membership details, and a Club Membership application form, can be located under the 'About our Club' menu option. 

Our Club enters teams in leagues administered by the North West Essex BA, the NWE Ladies (Triples) and the Central Midweek Bowling leagues. Additionally, many "friendly" fixtures are organised throughout the Season and several of our more experienced players are occasionally selected to play in representative matches. Our very popular "Club Nights" on most Monday and Friday evenings give both the novice and the more experienced Members the opportunity of playing together, followed by drinks in our well appointed Club House.
