Tixall Bowling & Social Club — since 1885

Our little slice of green was gifted to the community by the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1885, and ever since it’s belonged to the people who use it — The Members.

We have a dedicated committee. It’s made up of six officers and nine committee members who volunteer their time to keep everything running smoothly, organise events, manage the green, and generally make sure there’s always something fun happening.

Meet the team (roles you’ll find at the helm)

• Six officers: responsible for leadership and key day-to-day decisions.

• Nine committee members: supporting officers, organising activities, managing facilities and member engagement.

If you want to get involved, have an idea, or fancy a say in how the Club is run, speak to any committee member — we’re all members here, and everyone’s welcome to roll up their sleeves.

Tixall Bowling & Social Club exists to bring people together through friendly Social events and sporting activity. Our core focus is on promoting regular participation, in our Social events and improving skills and fostering a strong community spirit around three main sports:

• Crown Green Bowling

  • Accessible to players of all ages and abilities.

  • Regular roll-ups, organised leagues and coaching sessions for newcomers and developing bowlers.

• Snooker

  • Well-maintained tables available for casual play and practice.

  • A welcoming atmosphere where tactical play, concentration and good company go hand in hand.

• Ladies Darts

  • Dedicated night (Wednesday) and team to encourage female participation.

  • Friendly leagues, knockout cups.

  • Social events and mixed evenings to integrate players across the club.

Why it matters

• Health and wellbeing: regular sporting activity boosts fitness, coordination and mental wellbeing.

• Development: structured coaching and competition help members progress, whatever their ambition.
