🎉 100 years of Crown Green Bowling in Wales!

This year marks the centenary of the Welsh Crown Green Bowling Association and what a century it's been. From newspaper clippings dating back to the 1920s, to champions crowned in 2025, the WCGBA has been at the heart of Welsh bowls for generations.

We love seeing this incredible display celebrating 100 years of players, clubs, and communities across Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁮/🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Congratulations to everyone who is part of the WCGBA — here's to the next hundred years!

Everyone involved in bowls in Wales deserves to feel safe. 💚

We've added a dedicated Report a Concern page to our website. A simple, confidential way to flag a welfare concern about an adult or child involved in the sport.

If something doesn't feel right, please tell us. You don't need to be certain to make a report.
