Booking Policy
Willowbank is Glasgow's oldest bowling club and wishes to maintain its reputation as a suitable venue for all types of social events. This reputation can only be maintained by ensuring that all hosts respect the club premises and conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
For this reason, the directors have requested that all hire applicants state their relationship with the club; for example, Current or former member, resident, guest at an organized event, member of a neighbouring club.
