During the Second World War, bowls were played in the garden of Colonel E. Clarke, of Sweffling.
After a few years lapsed the landlord of the Sweffling White Horse gathered together his customers and opened a green behind the pub. In 1985, the landlord changed, and they no longer wanted the club there; it was agreed to build a new green near the Village Hall which opened in 1988 in its current location.
Today, the SWHBC is a small friendly Bowls Club of just over 30 members (only 23 are active players). We have teams in three local leagues, Saxmundham, Woodbridge and the Fynn league.
Where we meet
Sweffling Bowls Club, Sweffling, Saxmundham IP17 2BN

When we meet (& how often)
The bowling season runs from late April until early September.
We usually play on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
