Indoor Bowls is a great social sport and an excellent way to get some healthy exercise, get out of the house and meet new people, whatever your age or ability. At West Berks IBC you can play at your own level and at a time that suits you. Our club is thriving, currently has 620 members, and is open 12 months of the year.
Our next official OPEN WEEKEND is on Saturday and Sunday, 26th and 27th September, 2026 with a new BEGINNERS coaching course starting on Saturday, 3rd October.
Maybe you don’t want to wait until then?
We are pleased to invite you to visit the club, have a look round and enjoy a FREE Taster session during the summer months. Why not come and see what you can do on the green and we’ll take it from there.
All equipment provided, just bring flat soled shoes. We have full disabled facilities, free parking, bar and great social events. Being indoors, you can play bowls, whatever the weather, in superb air conditioned premises all year round.

It has been medically proven that Bowls improves your general health and helps to strengthen the immune system. Playing a game of bowls gives your muscles and joints good anaerobic exercise because you are not giving your cardiovascular system a workout.
During an average game, you will:
*Bend more than 40 times
*Walk about 1260 metres
*Swing your arm more than 40 times to deliver a bowl weighing more than 3 lbs.
This gives your muscles and joints good exercise as well as exercising your mind as you try to outwit your opponent! ‘Bowls – The Sport for All’
