There has been a flat green bowling
club in Victoria Drive, adjacent to The Drive Public House since 1931 when the
Victoria Drive Bowling Club was formed, making it our 75th Anniversary in year
2006. In 1932 the ladies formed Eastbourne Ladies Bowling Club and in 2006 both clubs become a Joint Club Partnership with the new name of Victoria Drive and Eastbourne Ladies Bowling Club. Our members continue to enjoy both ladies and men's matches together with mixed matches. We are a progressive club and are always looking for new ideas to promote the image of our sport within today's society, for example in 2005 a relaxed dress code for casual play was introduced to encourage members to bring along their friends and relatives for a game of bowls. We also have coaching facilities available to encourage young bowlers of all ages. |

Facilities. Our six rink green is arguably the best in Eastbourne and is maintained to a very high standard by the same green-keepers who administer the World Class Tennis Courts in Devonshire Park, Eastbourne. We host various Sussex County events including a match against the County under 25s each year. We also host various rounds of the Eastbourne Open Bowls Tournament including the semi-finals and finals in some years. There is spectator access and seating to three sides of the green including the pavilion. There is car parking for more than 30 cars within the adjoining car park, and coach parking within the The Drive Public House car park. |
