Bowls

Bowls is a great game for all ages from children upwards.

The club holds a weekly drop-in session on Friday evenings from 6pm – 10.30pm (and at other times by arrangement). If you’d like to give it a go, we can let you borrow some equipment; or just come up for a drink and to watch others play!

We play on our village green which is opposite 38 Main Street at the east end (A46 end) of the village.

Contact Dave Harris willoughbybowls@aol.com for more info or to arrange to come along.

An alcohol licence has now been granted so come along to enjoy a drink and watch or take part!

Friends of Willoughby School

FOWS is very much like a PTA, apart from we welcome members of our local community to join us, as well as parents and staff.

We’re a friendly group of parents who meet every couple of months to plan fundraising events to help raise money for the school. In recent years, money raised has helped to pay for French lessons, subsidised trips to museums, nature parks and adventure days and bought gazebos for use on sports day!

We meet at one of our houses or sometimes in a local pub to enjoy a drink and a catch up as we discuss our plans. We’d love to hear from you if you’d like to find out more or get involved!

Email friendsofwilloughbyschool@gmail.com or see their page on the school website.
