Welcome to Naismith Bowls

Who we are

We are  a community bowls club located in Tangier Road Portsmouth.

We are affiliated with "Portsmouth and district Bowls association" 

We compete in 4 Midweek leagues in Portsmouth

We welcome experienced and new bowlers to compete with us - Or take part in internal informal bowls sessions.

Currently we only run Men's teams as we don't have sufficient Ladies to create a team - However the Club is keen to attract Ladies who wish to play and would be happy to support a Ladies team and Support them into the leagues.

Our History

Copnor Bowls Club was originally located at the Copnor Bridge end of Tangier Road (See image ) this club was established in 1914 and celebrated its centenary on 12th June 2014. It was moved in 2007  to its current site to make way for the bridge improvements and was initially "Swordsands Bowling Association" and incorporated Copnor Ladies and Mens teams Naismith and Moneyfields.
