In order to make the most of this funding, we would appreciate your feedback and ideas in regards to how we can use this. 

We are looking for ideas and opinions for projects which can be implemented at a local (county) and national level. We are especially interested to hear about ideas/projects which have worked well for other sports or at club level that we can look to implement.

Please click the link HERE to complete the questionnaire.

Boldmere St Michael

Would all bowlers please note that Boldmere St. Michaels Football Club is currently undergoing a major site development which involves the replacement of the grass football pitch with a new 3G surface and the installation of two new 5-a-side pitches. 

Work has commenced (23 May) and is anticipated to take 16 weeks. This will mean that there will be limited parking with parts of the car park towards the bowling green not been accessible  due to it now being a construction site.

Designated footpaths will provide pedestrian access to the green. Also bowlers should avoid parking on the road (Church Road) directly outside the club due to turning lorries. Please take care when visiting our club and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
