A lawn bowls club founded in 1919, with two full-size greens on the Hornby Domain in Hornby, Christchurch, and a clubhouse deck. The club welcomes new players at any time of the season. No experience, equipment or uniform is needed to try a first end, and a coach can set newcomers up with a bowl and show them the basics. Contact the club by phone through the coach, or by email at hornbydbc@gmail.com.
Reviewers describe a great atmosphere and lovely people, and say the Friday night gatherings are a good way to unwind after the working week. One reviewer praises the wine and the warm welcome. Another says the bowling green is excellent, but that the club does not offer refreshments such as tea, which some other clubs do.
