Cockfield Carpet Bowls Club
The club meets for practice on Monday evenings at 7.30 pm in the village hall where we use two mats and also play our home league matches.
We play in the Bury and Suffolk Leagues and finished last season in third and fourth position respectively in the top division of each league. We also play in the Summer League.
Although quite competitive, carpet bowls is a very sociable sport which enables us to visit most villages in the county and enjoy the "after bowls" provided by the host club. Many tournaments are run throughout the year, mostly in aid of charities, and Cockfield is usually represented.
We hold our annual Cockfield Invitation Fours tournament in February in the village hall and donate the proceeds of the day to The East Anglian Air Ambulance Service as well as St Nicholas Hospice. In 2011 we raised £740 which were shared by these two charities.
Quite often, we host the annual Bury League presentation dinner which is well attended and helps put Cockfield on the map for many people.
Visitors are always welcome, and you can contact us at carpetbowls@cockfield.org.uk
We are members of the Suffolk Carpet Bowls Association

Bury League Presentation Dinner 2011
Cockfield, again, hosted the Bury League presentation dinner in May 2011. As can be seen from the photograph, the function was held in the Village Hall and was well attended by the clubs which play in the Bury League. As a result, we were able to present the Village Hall Committee with a cheque for £200 as a contribution towards the ongoing cost of the upkeep of the hall.
