Welcome to Abington Bowling Club

ABINGTON BOWLING CLUB has received notice from KIER, the company responsible for laying down the proposed new cycle lane on Park Avenue South, as part of West Northamptonshire Council's 'Active Travel Scheme' for the Abington area. The work will begin on Monday, 8th June and is scheduled to run through to October, with traffic management being in situ 24/7. 

​​​​​​​​

The club will remain open as usual throughout, but any vehicle-parking on the road outside will be prohibited for several months. Abington B.C. understands how this could negatively impact on people's access to our grounds. The club expressed its concerns during the consultation stage about the timing of the work possibly coinciding with the outdoor season, our busiest period of any year (as well as the longer-term restrictions on parking space that the cycle lane will bring), but they do not appear to have been heeded.

 

Nevertheless, it is Abington Bowling Club's firmest intention to continue providing a top-class venue, for bowls and so much more. We hope all members and guests continue to enjoy their visits.

​

Below is the timeline KIER have laid out for the work:

First 2 Weeks (beg. Mon 8th June): King Edward Road / Abington Park Crescent / Park Avenue South junction closed to all traffic, except residents accessing properties within closure area. Park Avenue South closed at Christchurch Road junction.

 

Park Avenue South (between King Edward Road and Billing Road) - Fully closed. Resident access only via King Edward Road / Abington Park Crescent. No access from Billing Road.

Main Works Period (beg. Mon 22nd June, to last approx 16 weeks): Park Avenue South (between King Edward Road and Billing Road), single-lane, one-way southbound traffic only. Access available from King Edward Road / Abington Park Crescent junction.

Final 2 Weeks: Full road closure of Park Avenue South required between Abington Park Crescent / King Edward Road junction and Billing Road junction for resurfacing. Resident access only. Full details will be communicated in advance of the works.

27/05/2026: ABINGTON MADE IT through the opening round of the Tony Allcock Trophy, with victory at Roade by 10 shots, and will be at home in the next stage, vs. Kislingbury.​​​​​​​​ Meanwhile, the women's Friday league team remains in third place despite their first defeat of the season in game 3, slipping back from Roade and opponents Kingsthorpe. The latter continued their perfect start with an aggregate score of 18-39 at Abington.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
