Shipton Bowling Club is a delightful club situated in Shipton by Beningbrough near York. The club itself, is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a peaceful setting to play bowls (except during a bowling match as we are competitive in that respect). Alternatively, if you are just wanting to relax, we have seating areas which are placed around the bowling green which gives visitors an excellent viewing experience. If you would like to watch a game of bowls, we welcome everyone to the club. If you would like to try your hand at a game, you are more than welcome, whatever level you may be at. We have excellent facilities at the club with changing room, kitchen and eating area and we also have bathrooms for both men and women, incorporated in the main building. We very much welcome disabled visitors to the club but unfortunately, at present, we dont have wheelchair access onto the green. Everything else is accessible.
We are a bowling club in working progress. Over the years, the club has had its struggles with attracting players to become part of our ambitions. To become an established regular in the Top Flight Division 1, in the men's league, despite our struggles with the numbers of players we had, we managed a successful promotion from Division 2. All our players were amazing in helping the club to the top and we feel this is where we belong. The players deserve to be there for their tremendous efforts over the years and it is our desire to compete in the top division in a very competitive way.
We also have a ladies' team who always do very well in their division, always competing for top spot in the league. The ladies' captain is extremely competitive, which reflects the league positions for her ambition to win as much as possible. We always encourage new bowlers to join the team, as we would like the level of competitiveness to continue for many years to come.
We also have mixed leagues which is a huge delight for us to compete in. Every season is a joy to bowl with everyone within the club as usually the mens' and ladies' leagues dont play together.
We also host Representative and County games as well as other competitions. We are frequently asked to do so, as we are ideal for many games which require to be played on a neutral green.
The carpark which is located a stones throw away is ideal for anyone travelling to the club. Coaches would need to give prior notice, for security reasons.
