Situated close to the centre of Oxton Village it was
founded in 1885 on land given to the Club by the 5th Earl of Shrewsbury. The
name Tixall is derived from his wife's estates near Stafford (Tixall Hall gatehouse
still remains).
Recently the Club was commended by the Wirral Wildlife Trust for the sympathetic
management of the site, testament to the hard work of one or two green-fingered
members, and a stroll up the path from Heathfield Rd. reveals a little known
oasis.
As well as bowling the club also has teams for billiards; snooker; football; ladies darts & quiz leagues. Plus there are monthly Saturday Night Socials. The club also boasts a large screen projection system, a great boon for Premiership football (& other sports).
Full Membership is open to all over the age of 18 (Junior Members from 14yrs)
At present membership fees are £5 pa. ( £1 Junior
& Pensioners) however full Membership increases to £10 in March.
