Inside Our Club House
Bessingby Park Bowls Club is a friendly, vibrant club situated in the heart of Bessingby Park in Ruislip Manor. Formed in 1991. The club was formed when a few indoor bowlers wanted to play outdoors. All they needed was a home, so when the park keeper's hut in the park was vacated by Eastcote Ladies, Bessingby took up residence. We offer you a warm welcome. We currently have a membership of around 40, split fairly evenly between women and men.We have a brand new state of the art air conditioned pavilion, with a very well equipped kitchen area. There is also a drinks vending machine, which has a large selection of soft and alcholic drinks at competitive prices. This facility was opened by Cllr Ray Puddifoot, the leader of Hillingdon Council and the Worshipful, the Mayor, Cllr Catherine Dann on 26th February 2015.
