Welcome to the Sutton & District Bowling Association (S&DBA) Website.

 

Objectives and Eligibility

We are a Mixed Association.  Our objectives are to foster the spirit of friendly competition amongst Clubs in the Association, and to further and promote the game of Bowls by arranging Competitions and Friendly Men’s or Mixed Matches with Affiliated and other Clubs and Associations.

Membership of the Sutton & District Bowling Association is open to outdoor Lawn Bowls clubs affiliated to the Surrey County Bowling Association, and whose greens are located within a 7 mile radius of Sutton Rail Station (see map below).


 

About Us

We run a full programme of year-round Indoor and Outdoor friendly matches and 9 very competitive Outdoor Competitions for our affiliated clubs.

Additionally, starting in 2016 we act as custodians of the Men's and Ladies' Past Times Trophy competitions for both S&DBA affiliated and non-affiliated clubs and which is run separately from the S&DBA competitions and is not restricted to clubs within a 7-mile radius of Sutton Rail station - click here to visit the dedicated Past Times page on this website.

Club affiliation has the great benefit of enabling club members to play as often or as little as they want by entering our competitions and/or playing in our friendly matches and does not commit a club to a possibly unwanted hectic programme of league matches because we don't run any leagues. To learn about our competitions please visit our 'Competitions' page on this site.

The S&DBA warmly invites applications for membership from bowls clubs within its catchment area who share our objectives and are interested in participating in our activities described on this website.
