Welney Carpet Bowls

The Welney Carpet Bowls Team meets on a Monday at 7pm.

Carpet Bowls was introduced to West Norfolk in 1983. The villages of Wiggenhall St. Mary, Pott Row and Marshland St. James received grants to buy equipment and start the game in their village halls.

The game made great strides forward in the 1990s, boosted by the loan-of-equipment-scheme administered by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. Numerous village clubs have been established enabling the formation of the Dairy Crest League based at Lynnsport in 1992 and the formation of the West Norfolk Carpet Bowls Association in 1966.
