About Us

We’re situated 150 yards on the right as you enter Overcote Lane from the High Street in Needingworth.
The entrance is signposted 'Village Hall' and opens into a large parking area, with the bowls club gate on the left hand side.
Please be mindful and courteous that this leads on to a community area, with children's play park, village hall, tennis club and local residents.
We ask all patrons to adhere to dead slow speed limits, park responsibly and be respectful of the environment.
Safe Guarding and Welfare
We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming environment for all members and visitors.
Our Safeguarding Officer is Alan Blackley, who can be approached in person at the club, or contacted via the email link shown here. All items will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
