The Alfriston Short Mat Bowling Club was formed in November 1996 with one second-hand mat and 17 assorted woods, and a membership of around twenty (mostly complete beginners). Since that time the Club has bought two new mats and other equipment, and members have their own woods. We now have a limited membership of 25 of mixed ability, and beginners are very welcome.
