Social Life at City Bowls Club
Bowling is only part of what we do. City of Cambridge Bowls Club has a friendly and welcoming social scene that brings members together both on and off the green. Whether you’ve just joined or you’ve been playing for years, our social events are a great way to meet people, relax after a match, and feel part of the club.
We keep things informal, inclusive, and good fun — from a quick drink after a home fixture to larger get-togethers through the season. Many members say the social side of the club is one of the best parts of being at City Bowls.

Regular Social Events
Alongside league fixtures and friendlies, we run a selection of regular social events throughout the year. These vary depending on the season and member availability, but typically include:
- Post-home match drinks: The Elm Tree, Orchard Street, Cambridge (short walk from the green) where all visiting players are very welcome
- Summer barbecue: a relaxed club get-together during the outdoor season
- Bowls summer tour fixture: an annual highlight with bowls and a good social evening
- Christmas festive dinner: a chance to catch up with everyone during the winter season
- Winter socials: informal meetups and get-togethers while we’re playing indoors
New members are always encouraged to come along — you don’t need to know everyone to enjoy yourself. If you’d like to suggest a social idea or help organise an event, just speak to one of the committee.
