Aim
After 40 years of use our Sprinkler System is at the end of its lifespan, and has to be replaced. Every drop counts
Who are we?
Swanley Bowls Club has been part of the community for 40 years. It is more than just an outdoor bowls club. The core of the club revolves around providing a safe outdoor exercise in good company.

Why are we crowdfunding?
The Heart of the Bowls Club is the Green. The volunteers on the 'Greenkeepers Group' spend a great deal of time maintaining it
The sprinklers control the water with maximum efficiency, so minimise the amount used.
Every Drop Counts.
The club has managed to raise, via various fundraising events, the finance to replace over half the system.

Community impact.
Run entirely by volunteers, we actively encourage people to get involved, holding free 'attend and try' Open Days. We help the local community by providing an activity that contributes to bringing pleasure to people, and plays a real part in maintaining their mental wellbeing.
Many of the members are retired, but keep themselves busy playing bowls and helping to manage events. This includes raising money for a local charity - chosen each year by the members.
How many Bowlers does it take to put up our Specsaver's banner? One of our lovely sponsors.
