About Elmwood Lawn Bowling Club

Elmwood Lawn Bowling Club is a sports and recreation facility located in the Wortley Village area of London, Ontario. Serving a variety of participants from novices to competitive players, the club provides a social atmosphere for those looking to enjoy lawn bowling as a recreational activity or a serious sport. The club offers a range of programs including "jitneys," which are casual, non-competitive draw games held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and evenings during the summer. For those seeking more structure, the club provides regular club nights for recreational players, competitive leagues, and various tournaments. These events range from "just for fun" gatherings, such as the Canada Day tournament, to sanctioned inter-club invitationals. Additionally, the club provides free private or group lessons with a coach, as well as indoor carpet bowling in the clubhouse from October through April. The facilities include two lawn bowling greens with eight rinks each, a clubhouse with a full kitchen, storage lockers, and a shed and garage for equipment. Founded in 1911, the Elmwood Lawn Bowling Club is a privately owned, not-for-profit corporation that relies on the volunteerism of its members for governance, maintenance, and promotion. It is a member of the District 2 area under the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association and Bowls Canada. The club is governed by a ten-member Board of Directors. Visitors are welcome to attend events as spectators, and members are available to share knowledge and enthusiasm with the public.
