Joint Presidents in Jubilee Year

This year we celebrate 50 years of bowling at Kirby Muxloe Bowls Club. The Club was formed in 1975 and many people have enjoyed friendly and competitive bowling since then.

We are pleased that Susan and Steve Bradford have accepted the honour of being Joint Presidents for our Jubilee Year. Susan’s mother, Jean Gisborne, was a founder member of the Club and her father, Ernie, joined soon after and was President in 1978. As Susan says, her parents would be surprised at what their sports-averse daughter was now doing. Steve is in his second spell at the Club, either side of a period at Westcotes; he is well known across the County and has represented the County on many occasions in National Finals.

Both Susan and Steve are at the ticking heart of the Club with their love of catering at Social Events and their ever-popular hot dogs at Wednesday Club Nights drawing bowlers to the Club. They have both been stalwarts of the Club’s Social Committee for many years and Susan has served on the Management Committee and was treasurer for the Ladies section. She is our accredited kitchen hygiene specialist and was pleased to receive the top award at the recent Hygiene Inspection. Steve has a long-standing interest in green maintenance and is recently retired as Green Ranger; he continues as a diligent and conscientious Bar Manager and member of the Management Committee.

Susan and Steve have chosen Myotonic Dystrophy Support Group as their Presidents’ charity for 2025. The Support Group is a registered charity and gives advice, help and support to those who care for those who suffer from this genetic disorder which causes progressive muscle loss and weakness.

Kirby Muxloe Bowls Club is a mixed club and is open to all abilities both young and old.  New members are always welcome, both experienced and beginners, and you will be made to feel very welcome at a club that thrives on its friendliness. Above all Bowls needs to be enjoyable.

Members range from those who enjoy a social roll up to those experienced bowlers competing at county level.  Whatever you like you can be sure to find like minded members at Kirby Muxloe.

Being a member of the Bowls Club entitles you to practise on the outdoor green during the playing season, April to September, and to use the clubhouse facilities throughout the year.  You can, optionally, join in friendly inter-club matches and enter competitions.  During the playing season there are always other members around to practise with or, of course, you can practise on your own.  Throughout the year we have other activities from coffee mornings thru fish and chip suppers to full New Years Eve parties with live acts, a three course meal and glasses of champagne.  We also have fun bowling sessions giving you the opportunity to relax in the sunshine with like-minded friends.  Kirby Muxloe Bowls Club is in a lovely setting and what better way is there to spend a summer’s evening than bowling on the green as the sun goes down whilst enjoying a drink from the bar.

It is said that bowls takes seconds to learn and the rest of your bowling career to master.  At Kirby Muxloe we have free coaching sessions throughout the bowling season for newcomers and members, contact our Club Coach, Sue Hartnoll, on 0116 239 3479.  We have a good sized clubhouse with a licensed bar.  There are men’s and women’s changing rooms and we are open daily to members through the summer.

At Kirby Muxloe we believe that people need to try before they buy.  We will organise "have a go" sessions for anyone interested in Bowls and the club has a selection of bowls that can be used for these sessions.

If you are considering becoming a new player and we’ve tempted you to try it out or if you simply want more information, we’d love to hear from you.  You can contact us by completing the form on the contacts page or by just turning up.  You can be assured of a warm welcome.
