Millwood Bowling Club was founded in 1990.
We are situated in Wales’ largest town – Barry, in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan.
The club has a well-maintained green, a licensed clubhouse and a good-sized public car park adjoining the club. We are building on our already good facilities each year, making even more improvements to our great club.
We are a ‘private greens’ bowling club, which resulted from us taking over full control of the running and maintaining of the club from the Vale of Glamorgan Council in 2020. We warmly welcome new members at any time during the year, both playing and social.
Becoming a ‘private greens’ bowling club also allows us to participate in more choices of leagues, such as the private greens league, whereas previously mainly just ‘municipal leagues’.
We do not have formal men’s and ladies’ sections. We are a combined club.
The club is also an affiliated member of the Welsh Bowling Association, the South Vale District Bowling Association, the Vale of Glamorgan County Bowling Association & the Welsh Women’s Bowling Association.

Information
Everybody can play lawn bowls. It is a low-impact, strategic game that is extremely accessible and great for all ages and abilities.
Some external leagues that we play in have mens, ladies and mixed teams as part of their individual structures, yet our internal team league is mixed.
Our games take place on various days of the week from April through September, some evening leagues and some afternoon.
We also enjoy social bowling, particularly on a Friday evening during the bowling season.
Our Men compete in the East Wales Private Greens League and regularly fields 2 competitive teams every week during the season, on a Saturday.
Our Ladies compete in the structured leagues of Glamorgan and the immediate area, mostly on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons.
On a Wednesday evening, the Munro Cup competition allows for mixed teams or just men, it is down to individual clubs to decide which formation to enter.
Some of the advantages we have as a club, apart from a great place to bowl, include a good sized public car park, easy road access, a lovely setting in well-tended grounds, a licensed clubhouse, a large kitchen, ample space in the clubhouse for entertaining, a large screen TV in the bar, and a great social calendar.
We often have nights of entertainment for members and non-members alike. We offer a warm and friendly welcome to everyone who visits Millwood Bowling Club.
We have all the equipment required to get you started and are ready to welcome you to our bowls community.

Millwood 'A' travelled to Ely Valley 'A' for a key game for both clubs in Division 6. Ely Valley 'A' aiming for promotion, and Millwood 'A' aiming to avoid relegation. It was commendable, and in the spirit of the game, that both teams fielded their regular 'A' teams, even though Ely Valley's first team didn't have a game, and Millwood stayed loyal to their regular 'A' team players. Ely Valley 'A' picked up 10 points, which helped their cause, and Millwood 'A' 4 points, that helped with their relegation fight. Shots were 84 to 69.

Millwood 'A' at home, on the other hand, did their push for safety in Division 6 no harm in beating Pontyclun 'A' 76 shots to 57 (12 points to 2). Well done, and deserved. Millwood 'A' have 2 games yet to play, and their nearest contender for relegation, St Josephs 'A', have just one game remaining and that is against Millwood 'A'. Both teams tied on points at the foot of the table.

Thanks as always to those who do things at the club to make games possible, such as green keepers, bar, food, pre-match set-up, and general helpers.

Another good win. Millwood remain 3rd in the table. Promotion is still possible. But other results must go our way, and we must win our last couple of games.
No 'A' team game yesterday, as it was cancelled by Ely Valley 'A', a couple of hours before the game at Ely Valley.
