In the beginning membership was restricted to serving and retired members of the Metropolitan Police Force, as it was then known.
Although required to be a mixed club, there were no lady members until an independent ladies section was formed in 2000. Then, in 2009 the two gender sections were amalgamated to form the one fully mixed club we have today.
Membership has now been extended beyond the Metropolitan Police Service. Currently we have many members from the local community and we look to increase our membership through advertising and the annual Open Day.
As a bowling club we have a reputation for being one of the friendliest and welcoming in the area. To this end we operate a mentoring scheme for all new members whether experienced or a novice. This scheme is designed to make the joining experience as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
Membership of the bowling club automatically incorporates membership of the main sports club* thus allowing access to the many functional and recreational facilities of that club, including the use of a large modern bar, cafeteria and dining area.

* Fees are payable for both.
