Surrey County Bowling Association was formed in 1911. We have around 150 clubs with in excess of 5500 members, making Surrey the third largest lawn bowls County in England.

We are Members of Bowls England, the national governing body for outdoor bowls in this country.

Our new website went live in November 2008. We intend to update it regularly. If you or your Club have any items you’d like us to include, or you know of changes we need to make, please contact the County Secretary in the first instance.

Browse our pages and find out more about outdoor bowls in Surrey. If you have just moved to Surrey, or are new to the sport and want to know a bit more about playing lawn bowls,  follow the link to Clubs or Give It A Try. You’ll find useful pointers to your next steps. If you are a current Surrey Bowls Club Officer or member, we hope you’ll find the website informative and helpful.

The Surrey Badge

Our Surrey County Bowling Association Badge is the unique design of an acquaintance - learned in Heraldry - of the late Alderman AW Hall, and is founded mainly upon the Arms of long-gone Surrey nobles.

The design was conceived from the shields of the Warennes - Earls of Surrey from the Conquest till the middle of the fourteenth century, the FitzAlans - to whom the Earldom was passed - and of Holand, Duke of Surrey. The Warennes shield was chequered gold and blue: that of the FitzAlans was red with a silver lion: Holand’s had red with three golden leopards in a silver border, while Howard, now Earl of Surrey and Duke of Norfolk, had arms of red with a silver bend between six crosslets of fitchy silver.

Our expert in Heraldry took FitzAlan's red field and placed across it a broad bar of Warennes's chequers. Above the blue and gold bar, he put one of Holand's leopards, and below it three of Howard's silver crosslets.
