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.

Additionally, many "friendly" fixtures are organised throughout the Season and several of our more experienced players are occasionally selected to play in representative matches.
