Beckenham Bowling Club is a lawn bowls club at 63 Waimea Terrace in Beckenham, Christchurch, with two greens of eight rinks each. Outdoor bowls run from September to May, with roll-ups, club championships, tournaments and interclub fixtures. Over winter the club holds bi-weekly indoor games, played with outdoor bowls, with prizes for the winners, and everyone is welcome. Newcomers can try it with casual green use and free use of club bowls, and the club offers ongoing free coaching. Social membership is also available for those who want to be part of the club without competing.
Reviewers say a visiting group from Australia, who did not consider themselves experts, were warmly greeted and shown the facilities. A member of a year says the members are very welcoming and that the coaching is free. One visitor to a fundraiser found the two greens and the facilities reasonable. The club's facilities, bar and greens can be hired for social and bowls events, gatherings and community groups, and catering and barbecues can be arranged. The website also describes the club hosting a charity tournament with the Blue Brothers Charitable Trust. Its two greens are the centre of the club, which is why the season runs from September to May.
