What we do, for Social activities
Each year the Club has a social sub-committee whose purpose is to devise and organise social activities that will be enjoyable and attractive to the majority of club members.The objective is to present a self-financing social activity at least once per month during the winter season. The next series of events is currently being worked on ahead of the autumn start.
An impressive variety of activities has been organised in the past, either at the clubhouse or involving trips to other venues. Here are a few examples:
-
Theatre trips
-
Wine tasting
-
Shopping trips
-
Barn dances
-
Treasure hunts

Charity Support
Our Club runs a designated charity collection each year. Designated beneficiaries of this have included The Stroke Association, Prostate Cancer UK, Air Ambulance. Raffle proceeds from the Presentation Dinner and many other events provide substantial contributions for these worthy causes, so please help by supporting them as much as you can. The latest fund-raising cycle led to a donation of £1,100 to Prostate Cancer UK in January 2019.

Touring Team visits to Hook Bowling Club, and our visits away to other Clubs
Hook Bowling Club is active in terms of hosting other Clubs for visits to us and also for going on one day or multiple day trips to other Clubs.
We can help to arrange specially competitive rates for local accommodation, for Touring/Visiting teams. Please contact the Club for more information.
