We are a Mixed Club in the centre of Winscombe village which is near Cheddar and Weston super Mare in Somerset.
We were founded in 1921 by three gentlemen who played bowls on the lawn of a house in the village ‘Hampden’.
We are a friendly club that enjoys a good Social atmosphere, including our Monday Night Club and two internal Leagues.
However, we also play more competitively too!
The Men in the Somerset County League where we now have 3 teams and the Weston Over 55’s Triples League were we have two teamsand have enjoyed considerable success.
Our Ladies play in the North Somerset Triples League and The Wessex League.
Both the Men & Ladies play in National and County Club Competitions.

OPENING DAY 2025
A Uniquie Solution
Exceptional numbers of members wanted to get onto our magnificent green for the start of our season.
The solution was 7 rinks of 5 per team which accommodated 70 members with a further 4 changing over after an hour – unprecedented!
Everyone enjoyed their afternoon which saw The President’s Team outplay The Captains by a big shot difference!
Afterwards an excellent supper followed with humourous speeches by President and Captain.
A great start to the season!
