outdoor sports. But, at Sutton Common Bowls Club we are already looking forward
to the start of the new season of outdoor bowls. The season starts

Sutton. We run regular club events and competitions. The Green is
open to members 7 days a week. Bowls is not only a good way to get exercise it is very sociable matches always finish with a cup of tea and biscuits and a good chat!

If you would llke to try bowls come and visit us on the 15th. We
have a qualified coach to show you how bowls is played and other
members of the club are always willing to pass on tips and help.
We can provide all equipment including bowls for new players.

SCP Community Bulb Planting

Every Autumn the Friends plant daffs in the main entrance for the following Spring.This year we teamed up with our Local Ward Councillors in Stonecot and decided to plant a 1000 daffs at the Morden Road entrance to the park comprising 500 Narcissus tête-à-tête and 500 Gold Harvest. Our Ward Councillors Rob Beck and Cumar Sa Ha promoted  the event and despite the rain we had an excellent turnout from local residents who all got stuck in to help make it a special place to live in.

Happy New Year 2019 to all members and park users. In the past our park has been invaded by “ Travellers” who last time left an awful mess behind putting park users and dog walkers at risk to injury which the Council has to clear up at tax payers expense. We are pleased to advise that Sutton Council has now taken action with The High Court of Justice to obtain a permanent ban on Travellers misusing the park. Click here to view document

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Apologies but we had to cancel the Friends AGM 2018 planned for 31st July 2018 due to the sudden illness of the Chairman. This has been subsequently reorganized to be dealt with by the Friends Management Committee on the 14th November 2018. For a full report please see AGM Report
