Indoor Bowls
All weather
The Indoor Bowls section has around 25 active members who meet regularly on a Monday night between the months of March and October.
Play is in the upstairs Sports Hall and club nights begin at 7.30pm and all championship events starting at 7.00pm.
The floor can accommodate around 18 mats and regularly plays host to Chartered Clubs Championship events. In 2010 the section is hosting the Chartered Clubs Pairs and Triples Championships and the following year the 2011 Ladies National Championships in July!
The section also runs several 'fun nights' and has the occasional visit to and from other chartered clubs. Whether you're a serious competitor or a seriously social bowler, the Richmond WMC Indoor Bowls Section looks forward to accommodating your needs!
