Members can now order our new club updated jackets directly from the sports clothing website above.  

Lead time is approx. 5 weeks so get your order in now to be ready for the start of the new season!

Just over 6 weeks until we open for 2026!

Let's hope for another great summer weather wise.

Our official opening of the green is set for Saturday 11th April when we will have our usual spider and hat format.

All members welcome.

The bar will be open so even if you don't fancy playing, come along for a cheeky Saturday tipple!

Due to our extensive grounds, we have a small group of volunteers who work together to carry out the numerous tasks associated with the maintenance of the landscaping and the bowling green throughout the year.  

More volunteers are always needed so if you are interested in helping out, please contact the club's House Convenor whose contact details can be found on the Contact Us page.

Our members continue to embrace the club's "Adopt a Planter" scheme and the results are just stunning.

A huge thank you to everyone involved.

The Management Committee of Dalgety Bay Bowling Club made the decision to install solar panels with a back-up battery in order to save money on rising energy costs as well as reduce our carbon footprint.

Whilst looking into the possibility of support in the form of grant funding, we were put in contact with Local Energy Scotland who deliver the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) who in turn support communities to engage with, participate in and benefit from the transition to net zero emissions.

The advice and support we received from Local Energy Scotland’s local development officer, Ruth Dickinson, was first class and she helped us with every aspect of our grant application.  The outcome was an 80% grant, amounting to £11,378 incl. VAT, towards the cost of our project which was installed in November 2023. 

With the installation of the panels and back-up battery, the saving for the club in electricity costs at current prices are estimated to be more than £1500 per annum and this does not take into account any excess electricity that the club can feed back into the grid for which a payment will be received.  Based on these current figures, the payback period for the club’s contribution to the installation will be just over two years.

A wide variety of local communities and charity organisations may be eligible for CARES support and as we are a registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), we were eligible to apply for funding.  If you think you may be eligible then please do not hesitate to contact Local Energy Scotland https://localenergy.scot/funding/
