Public bookings from:

The Hitchin Initiative Office - Churchyard – Hitchin.

The bowling greens are open for most of the published times.

However when there is no known demand for the use of the bowling greens, the bowling greens and bowls equipment store are kept locked.

Public bookings are limited to 8 playing members of the public per day, unless by previous agreement for greater numbers.

Of necessity all public bookings need to be at least 48hrs in advance.

For shorter periods of notice members of the public may present themselves at the bowling greens (if open) and make a request of a club member, in which case the club member will collect any fees.

For public bookings made by the Hitchin Initiative Office, a ticket will be issued for each member of the public wishing to bowl and the appropriate fee collected.

In order to ensure proper access to the bowling greens and to bowling equipment, Hitchin Initiative will contact a key holder after a booking has been made, in order to ensure access.
