Short Mat Bowls originated in Ireland where, due to the rain, keen outdoor bowls players started rolling their woods around in the pub instead!  The sport spread to Wales and the North of England and eventually arrived in Wiltshire.  There are now over 30 clubs in Wiltshire with people of all ages playing.

The Trowbridge Short Mat Bowls Club is a popular club, with players reaching a high standard; in 2008/09 the team were Wiltshire Runners Up and North Wilts League Winners.  The Club competes in both winter and summer leagues and several competitions a year.  There are also regular friendly matches. The Club is affiliated to both the Wiltshire Association and the England Short Mat Bowls Association.

Non–members are very welcome to come along to any session and pay to play if there is room (as there often is).  In each of the two sessions that run at Paxcroft Mead Community Centre there are three mats out, enabling up to 24 players to bowl at once.
First visits are free; any further visits are £2.20 each.  If the bowling bug bites you and you feel you would like to join this very sociable club there is currently room for new members, the annual subscription is currently £5 a year.

In addition to bowling, the Club also organises occasional social events, for the members, as well as a Christmas meal.

The club meets twice a week, 51 weeks of the year at the Community Centre.  Why not give it a go?!
