Uckfield Bowls Club
What we do
Uckfield Bowls Club, founded in 1985, is a lawn bowls club with around 50 playing members and over 40 non-playing social members. We play from late April until the end of September. We enjoy a fixture programme of Friendly and League matches against many other clubs, some close neighbours but also many further afield in East and West Sussex.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly, informal environment for bowlers of all ages and abilities, while at the same time doing our best to be competitive. We can arrange high-quality coaching for our members, but there is always someone at the club willing to give advice and share their knowledge and experience. Club members can normally use the green for practice and casual bowling on any afternoon of the week during the season, whenever the green is not in use for matches.
For those wishing to play more competitive bowls, then in addition to our friendly matches, we belong to three different bowls leagues (the Mid Sussex League, the John Spriggs League and the Horam & District League).
The club also enters teams and individuals in numerous external competitions, whether at County and National levels or those organised by other clubs. We also hold internal competitions, in all formats of the game, and the popular season-long "Cameron-Waller Friendship Cup", held every Thursday evening for players of all abilities drawn at random into teams. All our competitions are listed on the
Club Competitions
page.
Our membership includes a former Sussex County Champion. Our honours boards in the clubhouse show how the club has grown and celebrates our successes since our formation in 1985.

Peter Cameron-Waller, 1943-2025
Uckfield Bowls Club lost one of its most loyal and dedicated members on Saturday 18th October 2025 after a short illness.
Peter Cameron-Waller, affectionately known within the club as “PCW” was our President and was one of the founder members of the club, since its formation in 1985. He helped initiate the club’s annual Fred King Invitation Triples day in 2003, and had diligently handled the entries of 16 teams from other clubs in the area every year since.
Peter founded and ran a season-long competition called the Cameron-Waller Friendship Trophy, which has run for many years, on almost every Thursday evening throughout the season, and for which he donated a handsomely engraved trophy.
Peter also spent a great deal of time researching and writing a history of the club, which can be found
on this website
. His initiatives and ideas contributed to many projects, events and improvements at the club, which helped it grow into the healthy and friendly club that it is today. On countless occasions the club echoed to the sound of Peter’s laughter and those around him, and he will be remembered with much affection by us all.
Our thoughts are with Peter’s wife Sue and their family.
