Who we are

We are a small, friendly, Crown Green Bowls Club.

The club is, itself, part of the Belper Meadows Community Sports Club, which also has Cricket, Tennis and Hockey (both Men's & Ladies) sections.

Despite being close to the centre of Belper, we are fortunate to be located in one of the most peaceful and picturesque places in the County.

            New members are always welcome

Where to Find us

Belper is 8 miles north of Derby on the A6.

Access to the green is off the A6, close to the traffic lights at the junction with the A517 (to Ashbourne), at 'The Triangle'. Travelling north on the A6, take the left turn immediately before the traffic lights, then turn immediately left down the side of Christ Church, following the road alongside Belper Town FC to the Belper Meadows Sports Club (the Bowls Club is to the right, behind the pavilion and adjacent to the tennis courts).

The map/ satellite image below shows the location of the bowling green.

        The map is searchable- you can zoom in or out (mouse-wheel or +/- buttons),                                        or move the centre of the map by dragging it. 

Photo Gallery

We are grateful to Terry Fletcher for the many photos he has taken over recent seasons. View them (and many others) in the Photo Gallery; there are photos from competitions, league matches and general bowling.       

Club News

Success for Wed Doubles team and Tues Evening Teams.

Congratulations to the Wed Doubes team who have won the Div 2 Cup. They defeated Little Eaton B 95 - 59 at Etwall. Well done to everyone who played for the team.

Congratultaions also to the Tues Evening Team who have gained promotion to Div 1 for next season. Well done to Sandra and all her team.

Green Closure

The Green will close after the Vets League game on Monday 9th September.  This is a little earlier than usual as we need to have the Green reseeded after the 4 floods of last year.  We hope by starting this earlier than usual it will have a better chance of success.

Warm Space Social Time

Following the success of the summer social bowling and lunch on Fridays, the Club is once again , over the closed season, offering an opportunity for social time from 11.30 to 3.00pm Fridays, including games, drinks etc. Last year it was combined with the Warm Spaces inititive, and not therefore  confined to club members and we intend that to continue- if you know of anyone who might benefit bring them along for a bit of social time.

Open Doubles Competition

A Successful Competition was held. The winners were Ken Sharples and his partner  Oliver Walters from Derby Co op Bowls Club
