As mentioned below (and in the Committee meeting minutes), we have arranged some internal competitions - just a bit of fun with a strong socialising element. Please clear your diaries!

We plan a new Singles knockout competition to be spread over several days as below:

1st Round - Ladies – Thursday 9th September, Men - Saturday 21st August

2nd Round – Men - Saturday 28th August (including Plate Competition)

3rd Round – Men – Saturday 4th September (including Plate Competition)

Semi Final + Final – Saturday 11th September

To enter this competition please sign your name in the pavilion by Wednesday 14th August.

There will be a Doubles Competition on Sunday 19th September (NOT the 12th as mentioned in the Minutes) - precise details and timings to be advised later but we hope to make it more concise than previous year's.

The Club is going corporate! We now have customised Club mugs for use in the kitchen, and Club pens are available for members to purchase - just £1 each, see Treasurer Andrew to get yours - act quickly to avoid disappointment!

Some photos from the Stoke Men's team visit to Oakamoor on the Events page.(The return match has been re-arranged for Wednesday 1st September).

A couple of coaching sessions have been organised and have been much appreciated. If you wish to attend in the future, please let Des know.

RETURN TO PLAY UPDATE 12.05.21 (Step 3 - applied from Monday 17th May). The guidance has been produced in conjunction with Sport England. Please click on the link to the left for the BCGBA website which shows the full 4 page document, with the main changes being:

• All restrictions on formats and numbers for organised activity under the jurisdiction of British Crown Green Bowling Association will be removed.

• Car sharing will be permitted.

• Indoor hospitality can resume.

• Spectators can return

Although the green has re-opened, playing spots will be limited so if are you looking for some alternative gentle exercise - why not try Barlaston Strollers, have resumed activities - see Facebook for details.

Please note there will be no car parking for bowlers at Barlaston Plume for 2021 - this only affects our Oakhill 'A' team.

GREEN OPEN FROM SATURDAY 3RD APRIL, but please follow the Govt/BCGBA guidelines.

We have a lot of work planned at the green - in this connection the Monday afternoon work party is not an exclusive club(!) - any able-bodied volunteers are welcome to help out - work continues through the winter.

Minutes of the November 2019 AGM, together with the revised Club Constitution on History page.

Barlaston is an ancient parish and large village of Stafford overlooking the Trent valley.  The name is of Anglo Saxon origin and is derived from Beornwulfs town or estate.  Barlaston is the gateway to the Downs Banks – owned by the National Trust and offering approximately 160 acres of bracken-covered moorland forming an idyllic backdrop to Barlaston village.

Barlaston Bowls Club is a village-based Crown Green Bowls Club offering both competitive League bowls as well as friendly social bowls. Why not come along and give us a try? - you're sure of a warm welcome!
