About Our Club
Tarring Priory Bowls Club was founded on the 19th October 1937 at a meeting in the Old Palace, Tarring. During the years since that inaugural meeting Tarring Priory has continued to grow in stature and is now without doubt one of the strongest clubs in the local area. The reason behind this success is the excellent membership spirit that exists with a diversity of players participating in Social, Club, Inter-club, County and National competitions, together with a stable and forward looking management team. It is because of this mix in our membership, backed up by experienced coaches that we are able to extend a warm welcome to bowlers of all abilities.

We have access to a 6 rink council maintained green. Members are able to use our club pavilion as a base for keeping their bowling bags and equipment. The pavilion is leased from Worthing Borough Council (WBC) and provides us with a meeting room, a single changing room, a bar, and a kitchen. We are licenced to sell alcoholic drinks to our members and guests. There are public toilet facilities attached to the pavilion.
From April 2015 WBC handed the collection of fees for use of the bowling green over to Tarring Priory BC. Season tickets are available to purchase from the club. It is possible to pay for sessions by the hour, prices will be displayed on the noticeboard on the outside of the pavilion. Prices have been advised as per the table on this page.
We have mats and jacks which can be hired by the session, with a limited number of bowls and shoes. Visitors are very welcome and at least one rink is available to the general public on all but the most exceptional occasions.
Matches are arranged at all levels to suit all standards of bowler from competitive league games to friendly roll ups.
Facilities
How much will it cost to play bowls:
Joining Tarring Priory Bowls Club will cost you a small fee for Admin purposes and then an Annual Subscription of £30.
New Bowls can be expensive but look on E Bay or other sites for second hand bowls. Members are always keen to talk through the sort of bowls on offer and their respective merits.
A season ticket covers the costs for most sessions, although if selected for a team you will have to pay an additional match fee contribution of £2.50. Competitions have entry fees which go towards admin and trophy costs.
Nothing in ths world is free but playing bowls is probably one of the more affordable sports
