British Crown Green Bowling Association
The BCGBA is the Governing body for our Sport in the UK, working with Sport England to promote and develope Crown Green Bowling.
All players who wish to participate in League Bowling must be registered with the BCGBA and have a current membership reference number. It is your responsibility to apply for this membership registration and to pay the appropriate fee (currently £20.00). This is a one off payment.
Your FVBC team captain will request this number from you to register you to play league matches. This number can also be recorded on your FVBC membership application. Note : You do not need to register to become a member of our club or to play social bowls or internal competitions, registration is only required to allow participation in League matches.
