Hopton & District Bowls Club

Hopton & District Bowls Club Hopton Bowls Club is a great place to enjoy playing lawn bowls with a superb club house, well priced bar and frequent social events throughout the year.

Hopton Bowls Club owns its own beautifully manicured green and well proportioned club house in the lovely village of Hopton cm Knettishall. We welcome players of all ages and abilities and are always pleased to see new faces. Contrary to popular myth, bowls is not a game for grumpy old men! It is a game which can be enjoyed the first time you walk onto a green, but which can take many years to master. Bowls doesn't require strength, but rather a good sense of coordination. It is therefore equally open to men, women, old and young. During the summer, we enjoy playing outdoors at our own club and at various other lovely greens in our region. The summer games provide an opportunity to enjoy a competitive outdoor sport, a chance to meet some lovely people and a (usually well priced) glass of something refreshing afterwards. During the winter, we move indoors to play "short mat bowls", a game with an atmosphere more akin to pub skittles - but still requiring skill and concentration. This is played every Tuesday evening, so please feel free to come along to try it. Throughout the year, the club organises and hosts various social events, including this year a car treasure hunt and a stand at our village fete. Be brave - ignore the myths - give bowls a try. But beware.... the bowls bug bites!!!

The Bowler + Novice Tournament due to be hosted at Hopton Bowls Club on Saturday 29th May will be postponed until later in the year.

Whilst the club had wanted to run this tournament in support of the national Bowls England Big Bowling Weekend, continuing concerns re Covid, combined with people understandably wanting to make the most of the first non lockdown Bank Holiday with their families, has required us to cancel this weekend's event.

As the concept of the tournament was very well received however, we will find an alternative date later in the season which is easier for people to attend.

A very proud moment. Rob Capon with Guy and Claire Ransom receiving the Guiness Cup....the first time Hopton have won this in the club's long and illustrious history. Great to see Hopton's name being associated with success once more.
Newcomers are always welcome to join our superb club (new outdoor season starts next April, but short mat played on Tuesday evenings indoors at our club house). Bowls is a great game, playable by all ages and both sexes. It is social, challenging, exciting....simply a really enjoyable sport. Come and join in, but beware THE BOWLS BUG BITES!!!

Superb end season celebration of bowls for a fab team. A superb day of bowling for the Bill White trophy. Marks the end of an excellent season, including achieving runners up spot in our first year in division 1 and winning the Guiness Cup. Most of all though, just thoroughly enjoyable bowling with a great group of people. Well done Hopton Bowls Club...League 1 Champions next year!

With daffodils in bloom, trees in bud and the grass growing it's clear that spring is springing.... and that means it's less than a month until the start of the new outdoor bowling season!

If you've never tried bowls, make this the season that you do. It's a superb game playable by women, men, old, young (and those somewhere in the middle). If you'd like to have a try just contact Mick Elflain, our club secretary, who will be arrange for one (or more) of our members to welcome you at the club, provide you with some appropriately sized bowls to borrow and give you a few starting tips to help you along your way.

The dates for the new bowling season have started to be announced and will be posted on this FB page as we become aware of them.

The fabulous Hopton Bowls team won its league last year and so will be battling with a higher calibre of club than last year.

Have a great season everyone - and enjoy your bowling!
