Membership
We review our annual subscriptions each year and these are payable by 30th of April each year.
The fees for the 2025 – 2026 season (12 months, April to April) are:
£140 for a Full Playing Member i.e. annual renewal (April 2025 to April 2026)
£100 for a New Full Playing Member i.e. completely new to the club, excluding breaks in membership (April 2025 to April 2026)
£40 for a Social Member (April 2025 to April 2026)
Full Playing Membership allows members to play on the green when it is available for play (7 days a week and most times of the day), and when it isn’t under maintenance or being used for official matches. Whether it is suitable for play is determined by our Green Keepers.
Full Playing Membership doesn’t guarantee a place in any external league teams, but allows selectors to include Full Playing Members in their selection process.
Full Playing Members will be able to play in all internal competitions, leagues and social games. Just like most other sports, a membership is about the member being allowed to use certain facilities, either socially and/or the grounds (playing).
Selection in teams for external competitions and leagues for most clubs and sports is on merit, suitability and ability. Millwood Bowling Club is no different.
Social members cannot play on the green.
Membership is open to all, irrespective of disability, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, religion, age, gender or sexuality and ‘The Club’ shall strive to eliminate racism, sexism and all other forms of discrimination in the sport of bowls.
We have a membership made up of Playing, Social and Life members.
We play bowls from April through September outdoors, and members have an active social calendar of music, comedy, bingo & quizzes throughout the year. We also play indoors as a club at Sully Indoor Bowls Arena from October to April.

Contacting the club out of season:
a) In person, every Monday is a coffee morning from 10.30am till around midday. Feel free to pop down. Also, most Friday evenings there is a social function (be it bingo, a quiz, live entertainment) – usually from 7.30pm. At other times if the gate is open it means that someone is around the club either having a coffee, tending to the green or some maintenance.
b) By phone 01446 744237, ring the club most mornings and there is a change somebody is around (especially a Monday morning). Also email: email our secretary …
Contacting the club during the season:
a) All the above.
b) The green is open from 11am till dusk during the bowls season. Members are able to play at any time (as long as a rink is free and not being used for organised matches) – so you should catch somebody at the club.
Animals are permitted into the club with the understanding of the following:
a) Dogs will be allowed into the clubhouse when there is no food being served i.e on match day events etc.
b) They are to be kept on a leash and their owners in full control of the dog/s whilst in the club grounds.
Smoking areas – The following areas will be allowed:
a) The current location to the left of the main gate entrance, as you enter the club (to the right of the clubhouse if viewed from the green).
b) The BBQ area to the left (as viewed from the green) of the clubhouse, as this provides cover in adverse weather conditions.
c) The benches around the green.
Please be mindful of non-smokers in these areas, just as a common courtesy.
Membership forms are available from the club.
