Our Club was founded in 1981 and has grown steadily. Our present membership is 35 Ladies and 55 Gentlemen.

We are affiliated to the Sussex County Bowling Association and through them to England Bowls ,the national body for the sport. Some 72% of our members are now on email. If only they all were! How long before a club secretary can enjoy such luxury??

Our already superior bowling green, ably maintained by Greenkeeper Kevin Bray, has been enhanced with rebuilt ditches. Our green is now the envy of many clubs in the County.

The pavilion was erected in 1986 and sports excellent facilities including a bar, fitted kitchen and comfortable changing rooms. Our project to extend the pavilion has recently been modified but is it possible that the Peachaven Big Parks project will help provide the answer to our dreams? See Club News page!

We are constantly seeking new members, from all sections of the community. All ages and all ability levels will be made welcome. Bowling is as much a social activity as a sporting one and to enforce this aspect there are several social functions arranged every year, from coffee mornings to quiz’s, from dances to fish and chip suppers, barbecues to candlelit bowling. During the closed season our Social Team of Norma and Don Pattenden, George and Jean Newton (get well soon Jean!), Cliff and Avis Wilson and Carole and Paul Hardy organize various events including Club social evenings on closed-season Wednesdays which prove quite popular and raise much needed revenue for the Club. The more who attend the more successful the venture. Cards, darts, dominoes, etc., you name it you bring it! And if you can carry a Pool table you’ll be even more welcome.

If you are at all interested in taking part in the sport of bowls please
contact any member of the club whose names and numbers appear above.

TOURING TEAMS from all over the country visit us during the summer. We welcome them most warmly and can help arrange accommodation in Brighton and/or Eastbourne. It’s a great day out on the Sunny South Coast. PEACEHAVEN is exactly where the Greenwich Meridian intersects the coastline so its not hard to find us. If you’re in the western hemisphere and on the UK mainland, drive south to the sea and turn left. If in the eastern hemisphere turn right. Our Fixtures Secretary Phil Armstrong will be very pleased to hear from anyone thinking of touring Sussex in 2012 and later. We have excellent parking facilities for cars and coaches. East Sussex is home to many world famous sites such as the Seven Sisters white cliffs, Cuckmere Haven and the Fishermens' Cottages of Atonement fame, the Brighton Pavilion and lovely old villages such as Alfriston where King Alfred reputedly burned the cakes, Rottingdean, home for years to Rudyard Kipling, and Batemans at Burwash Common where he lived out the rest of his days. The County remains one of the few areas where you can find old country pubs which welcome you with a bygone warmth and hospitality. Let us help you to enjoy an unforgettable visit.

On the bowling side we have two teams in the Brighton and Hove District League, (men only), in Division 2 and Division 6, and one in the Newhaven Evening League, the Peacehaven Peregrines, (Ladies welcome), so there is plenty of opportunity for competitive bowling. Our Brighton and Hove League ‘A’ Team rallied strongly towards the end of the season to finish runners-up after a hard fought season. Our 'B' Team rose to third place in Division 6, a creditable achievement after a poor start. For up-to date information on these leagues please see our Competitions page.

For winter bowling we are fortunate to be within a couple of miles of Denton Island Indoor Bowling Club where the facilities are unrivaled.

All suggestions to improve or add to this site will be welcomed.
