Latest update: 10th May 2026
Our 2026 season is underway with the men recording a narrow loss at Perranporth, but gaining 2 league points. Our ladies Rippon team after a storming return to league bowls last year, have yet to win a league point after 2 games. Our popular Strollers league is now running with matches being played most Friday afternoons.
Our Open Day on 9th May, saw over 20 adults try out the game, along with a good number of children.
On a glorious day, as well as bowling activities, we had sausage/bacon baps with cream teas and cakes. Our newly installed mini bar was a success and was appreciated by all. We also had foot massages (which proved very popular), and the local school arranged some face painting.
Mawnan Bowling Club
was established in 1924. We are a friendly village club and wish to encourage all new bowlers, especially those who have never bowled before. Bowls is a game for all, regardless of age or ability. If you join us when life returns to normal, youwill have fun and meet new people. For those who have a competitive spirit there are plenty of opportunities, whilst the social bowler will find the good company we pride ourselves on.
The Club play in County Mens’ and Ladies’ Leagues. We also offer a mixed competition,- “Strollers” – which is aimed at those new to the game. Throughout the season we have our informal outdoor “roll ups” on Tuesday and Sunday afternoons at 2pm. We also play a number of friendlies, home or away, with other clubs throughout the West and Mid Cornwall areas. Then, of course, we have our Club Competitions, where ALL members are encouraged to take part.
Our Bowling Club is in the centre of the village on Carwinion Road and has plenty of onsite parking. We have two 3 rink greens which host our League and also County Competitions. The greens are normally open from mid-April until the end of September with the rinks being available, weather permitting, every morning, except Monday, from 10am. Both greens have Disabled access. Part of our club vision is to encourage youth groups to participate in the sport. That’s why we have been pleased to train pupils from Mawnan Smith Junior School in the game of bowls, as they prepare for the Cornwall Schools Competition .
Throughout the year our indoor carpet bowlers meet on Tuesday afternoons (and other times by arrangement) for social bowling, and the club enters teams in the Falmouth & Camborne Carpet Bowls league. Below sees “A” team captain Ray Robinson, being presented in 2019 with the Division 1 Winners Trophy.
The Club House has full kitchen facilities , with disabled amenities throughout the building. It is available for hire at a reasonable hourly rate. The car park can accommodate 30+ cars.
