Newport Salop Bowling Club

The Club was formed in 1904 and started playing fixtures in 1914 albeit they were not in a league. League Bowling didn’t arrive at Newport until 1972 when a team was entered into the Mid Shropshire League.

The club can boast having county bowlers from Shropshire and Staffordshire in their ranks this year, along with a ladies county bowler and several of the juniors being called upon to represent Shropshire in competitions last year.

During the season the Club have 14 internal competitions that are played for, usually on a Sunday afternoon. There is a list published on this web site.

During the winter months when the greens are being restored and the weather is inclement we have indoor bowling. Times and dates will be published as the indoor season nears. The range of experience is wide on the mat as we have county standard bowlers and beginners.

On Saturday nights we have various activities ranging from a monthly Whist Drive to live entertainment. The Live Entertainment is again a new venture for and is open to non members to attend and they are again advertised on this web site.
