Parking Changes at Alsager
Unfortunately as from the 15th May all bowlers will not be allowed to park on the car park behind the green
Bowlers with disabled stickers will be able to park down the side of the green, but everyone else will have to park on the main road (Sandbach Road North).
Asda car park near to to the supermarket has a 2 hour free parking and the the other end which is pay to park is free after 3.00pm. Obviously this will not help the bowlers during the afternoon games.
