Message from the President
Welcome to the St. Mary’s Lawn Bowling Club.
We are genuinely pleased to have you join our community. Whether you are brand new to lawn bowling or returning for another season, you are now part of a group that values friendly competition, good company, and time well spent on the green.
If you are new to the sport, you are in the right place. Our club is committed to helping you learn and improve. You will have access to our free “Try It” sessions, regular jitneys, and informal coaching throughout the week. These are designed to build your confidence while keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. All you need is a pair of flat-soled shoes. We will take care of the rest.
You will receive a monthly calendar outlining events, games, and social activities. We encourage you to take part, meet other members, and make the most of everything the club offers. Lawn bowling has a way of becoming more than a game. It quickly turns into a routine you look forward to.
We are excited to share our new club website: https://www.stmaryslbc.com/. It is your hub for events, updates, and everything happening at the club.
Take a few minutes to explore it. You will see how our season comes to life beyond the green.
We also invite you to help build it. If you have photos from games, events, or time spent at the club, please share them for our gallery. Your photos help tell our story and show new members what makes this club special.
If you have questions or need support at any point, please reach out. I am happy to help.

We look forward to seeing you on the green, sharing a few laughs, and perhaps debating whose bowl was closest.
Warm regards, Debra Meade President and Membership Chair
