It was great to meet Michael and Joe from Walton Bowls Club to hear more about this great facility in the heart of Walton and see what I can do to support them in finding a new site.
Walton Bowls Club lease their site from Elmbridge Borough Council who are looking to sell the land. This means Walton Bowls Club are having to consider alternative site and, at this stage, the Council has been unable to provide any suitable alternatives. I have written to Elmbridge Borough Council to ask for appropriate alternatives to be given, and to understand if the club can stay at their current site.
Walton Bowls Club, located at Elm Grove Recreation Ground, was founded in 1922. They enter teams and individuals in several Surrey leagues, Surrey County Competitions and tournaments. This year, they are hosting several open days and even an open air Elton John tribute. You can find out more here.
