Selby Bowling Club was founded in 1901 and was located in James Street, Selby. It was an outdoor bowling club for men only with a tennis court and 2 snooker tables which provided indoor entertainment for the members. The tennis courts were sold and in later years ladies were admitted as members. The original site was purchased for development and in 1988 Selby Bowling Club relocated to Baffam Lane, Brayton gaining 4 indoor bowling rinks and an extra snooker table as well as a new outdoor green.

In 1995  we were awarded a lottery grant which enabled the building of an extension, gaining 2 more indoor bowling rinks and changing facilities. We are a members club and the membership is affiliated to the E.I.B.A, bowls England, Selby and district bowling association, York and district bowling association. York and district private clubs league, Yorkshire bowling association, men and ladies Yorkshire indoor bowling associations, Selby ladies league and the Selby snooker league.

The indoor bowling green is open all year round but reduced to 4 rinks during the summer months. The outdoor green opens from mid-April to Mid September. During the summer we convert 2 indoor rinks with a marquee which we hire out for weddings, christenings and parties in the months between April and September.

The club is also used as a centre for other non-bowling groups run by external organisations.
