Tarrington 80 Club

It is over 30 years since the 50 Club was formed. As its name suggests, it had 50 members each paying £12 per year. As the village has grown the membership has increased. At a time when there were 80 members the club changed its name to the 80 Club. Now, despite the Committee’s decision to increase the annual subscription to £20, we have over 100 members. The 80 Club not only gives you the chance of winning some grand prizes but you also benefit from the donations made annually to your Parish Church and the Lady Emily Community Hall.

Bowls Club

Short Mat Bowls is a game that can be played by virtually anyone. The youngest players are aged about 14 and the eldest in their 70’s. Tarrington Short Mat Bowls team has an average age of 45 years old. We invite you to come and join us for an evening just so you can see what a great game this is. You need patience, co-ordination and perseverance.

The game appears remarkably simple but like all bowls, it is in fact remarkably skillful. It takes a lot of practice and quite a long time before players can actually get the woods to do what you really want them to do. Tarrington SMB team practice throughout the summer on most Mondays (excluding 2nd Monday of the month) at the Tarrington (Lady Emily) Village Hall. Practice starts at 7.30 pm and finishes at 10.00 pm and we have a break for tea/coffee and biscuits about 9.00 pm. 

If you’d like to come and try this wonderful fun game, please ring Veronica Hodges on 01432 890431 so we know to expect you. It’s more difficult than it looks but most individuals can get the hang of it quite quickly although it may then take a long time to develop real skill.
