 CLUB HOUSE AND BOWLING GREEN                                                              CLUB BADGE

Founded in 1981 we have just completed our 28th season in the Sussex bowling fraternity. Our present membership is 37 Ladies and 54 Gentlemen, over 90 for the first time in my recollection. This season we welcomed our youngest ever member Thomas, and his Dad Michael. We need more younger members like these two for the good of the Club and the Sport of Bowling. We have managed to attract another young member, Lewis Edwards, so success with the younger element might be growing.

 

We are affiliated to the Sussex County Bowling Association www.sussexba.co.uk and through them to the English Bowling Association www.bowlsengland.com.  50% of our members are now on email!

 

The pavilion was erected in 1986 and sports excellent facilities including a bar, fitted kitchen and spacious changing rooms. Additions and renovations completed in April 2006 have made this pavilion one of the best in the county. The weather has finally disposed of our storage shed and so a replacement has had to be purchased. This is now in place thanks to Reg Littlewood and his team of willing workers.

 

We are constantly seeking new members, from all sections of the community. All ages and all ability levels will be made welcome. Bowling is as much a social activity as a sporting one and to enforce this aspect there are several social functions arranged every year, from coffee mornings to quiz’s, from dances to fish and chip suppers, barbeques to candlelit bowling. During the closed season our Social Team of Norma and Don Pattenden with George and Jean Newton organise Club social evenings on Wednesdays which prove quite popular and raise much needed revenue for the Club. The more who attend the more successful the venture.

 

Touring teams from all over the country visit us during the summer. We welcome them most warmly and can help arrange accommodation in Brighton and/or Eastbourne if necessary. Its a great day out on the Sunny South Coast. Peacehaven is exactly where the Greenwich Meridian intersects the coastline so its not hard to find. If you’re in the western hemisphere drive down to the sea and turn left. If in the eastern, turn right.

 

On the bowling side we have two teams in the Brighton and Hove District League, ( http://freespace.virgin.net/league.bhdbowls/ ), (men only), in Division 1 and Division 6, and two in the Newhaven Evening League, (Ladies welcome), so there is plenty of opportunity for competitive bowling. Our Brighton and Hove League ‘A’ team retained their position in the top division after a hard fought season. Our B team must seek re-election to Division 6.

 

For winter bowling we are fortunate to be within a couple of miles of Denton Island Indoor Bowling Club ( www.DIIBC.freeserve.co.uk  ) where the facilities are unrivalled.

 

All suggestions to improve or add to this site will be welcomed.

Contact Frank Leach (01273-580240) for further information of any kind.

 

 

IF YOU’RE THINKING OF REPLACING OR UPGRADING YOUR HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS (YER TELLY) TO THE LATEST AND BEST THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE ABOVE SITE. YOU WON’T FIND BETTER PRICES ANYWHERE.  IF YOU NEED HELP OR INFORMATION GIVE ME A CALL.  ALL FREE TO MEMBERS PLUS ANY INSTALLATION YOU MAY NEED. AND IT WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR THE CLUB. PERSONALLY I LIKE THE SPECIFICATION OF THE NEW TOSHIBA 40ZF. ITS GOT EVERYTHING YOU’RE GOING TO NEED FOR THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC AS WELL. Update 21st May, my new kit has now arrived and is installed and working. Just as good as I had hoped. It took three days from order to delivery!

Bad News! (for me). The set I bought is now £350 cheaper! And the latest come with Freesat in the telly! That’s the trouble with technology. If anyone is an expert on home theatre audio systems please call me.
