Organisation Name: Cradley Heath Bowls Club

Cradley Heath Bowls is a well-established bowls group that was formed in 1910. Currently they have 14 teams with 70 members within the club. They play in a competitive season from April to September. The club do play in many different competitive leagues such as Oldbury, Dudley, Brierley Hill and Kingswinford, the Smethwick league.
The group currently have floodlights which are no longer fit for purpose and are not environmentally friendly or energy efficient.
Cradley Heath Bowls have applied for CIL funding to purchase new floodlights. This equipment would be used during the season’s competitive matches and training.
Having the new floodlights would allow the bowls club to host floodlight competitions in the winter but to host other competition that take place throughout the season.
