The Club was formed in 1904 and as they have just recently found out started playing fixtures in 1914 albeit they were not in a league.
League Bowling didn’t arrive at Newport until 1972 when a team was entered into the Mid Shropshire League. They have come a long way since then. Pictured right, the club’s ’C’ team who won 2015 season Senior Citizens Division 2.
The club can boast having county bowlers from Shropshire and Staffordshire in their ranks this year, along with a ladies county bowler and several of the juniors being called upon to represent Shropshire in competitions last year.
During the winter months when the greens are being restored and the weather is inclement they have indoor bowling.
Saturday nights they have various activities ranging from a monthly Whist Drive to live entertainment. The Live Entertainment is a new venture and is open to non members to attend.
If you are interested in bowling or joining them as a non bowling member you are invited to go along and see us for yourself. Further details available from: Tel: (01952) 820479. Email: enquiries@newportbowlingclub.co.uk
