SOUTHCHURCH PARK BOWLS CLUB<br />
Southchurch Park Bowling Club<br />
has been proudly based at one of<br />
the best parks in Southend since<br />
it was formed in <strong>19</strong>31 and is keen<br />
to support the Southend Council<br />
initiative for local sports clubs to<br />
work with the wider community.<br />
We are able offer taster bowls<br />
sessions for those groups who<br />
wish to visit the park assisted by<br />
qualified club coaches. We have<br />
steps to gain access to the bowls,<br />
but are currently unable to<br />
accommodate wheelchairs users.<br />
Although the bowling green<br />
has remained unchanged<br />
since <strong>19</strong>31, the original club<br />
pavilion is still in use and has<br />
been complemented by a<br />
second smaller pavilion that<br />
was recently taken over and<br />
refurbished by the club and is<br />
used as the refreshment facility.<br />
Our aspiration is to work closely<br />
with the local community,<br />
including schools etc. We also<br />
look to establish if the club<br />
facilities that currently are<br />
unused during the winter can be<br />
made available to community<br />
groups. For now, the latter<br />
remains a longer term goal, but<br />
we would welcome enquiries to<br />
establish the need and potential<br />
take up.<br />
Enquiries regarding lawn bowls<br />
and related matters should be<br />
sent to the club’s <strong>SAVS</strong> liaison<br />
officer Gary Williams:<br />
